    Even if more visibility is a good thing, i always find hazardous to take Twitch numbers as a clue of how well a game is doing when a lot of viewers are here to look at their entertainer streamer of choice, and not the game itself. I once did see one of them switch temporarily to a random game because their main one was not working anymore, that doesn't mean that the random game did become as successful as Fortnite even though the viewers count was here. How many people will watch the Method stream only because of the Method name, but not begin to playing FF14 anyway ?

    There must also be on Twitch a lot of people who take a look at games they dont have just because they are curious about them, but not to the point of buying and playing them. That is my case, i have looked way more at some games streams i don't own than FF14 ones. If i want to see some FF14, i just launch the game myself.

    Not that i am this interested at a "who will be the first to be able to sell new savage runs in pf in exchange for big bucks" race anyway XD

    "casual" is a word whose meaning can change tremendously depending on who is using it, like softcore, midcore and harcore statics. For me it is not only someone who don't play a lot, but also someone who don't have a lot of skill and can't clear harder content. So i wouldn't call you a casual if you can clear E4S.

    For me whether someone is casual, hardcore or anything in between is more about attitude than time spent in the game. Time spent in the game is obviously also a contributing factor as to why you might call a person one thing or another, but attitude towards the content they're doing is, in my opinion, the real thing that separates these vary degrees of approach to the game. It can also change depending on the content. Someone might be a hardcore omnicrafter, but may only be a casual raider at most. Very often one label isn't enough to accurately categorise players. People don't always fit into neat little boxes.
