A lot of hardcore gamers have made being a capital G "Gamer" their entire personality. Casual gamers remind them that gaming isn't all that niche nowadays and that they're not all that special just for playing video games.
That's why a lot of them have become elitists about the
types
of games they play now. Or how we had that whole "PC Master Race" bullshit before everyone and their mother started getting into PC gaming. They're like nerdier hipsters.
I think that hipster comparison is spot on. They were into gaming before it was cool and now try to gatekeep who's a "real" gamer.
