Why do hardcore gamers hate casuals so much?

Maybe it is but wouldn't the idea be to get people to not try to buck the trend with their untempered views on a subject?

Someone hearing Unreal's graphics be called "ugly" by a person who only got into gaming in 2015 is perfectly fair, I think. What the hell do they know? Even I admit they didn't exactly age gracefully and the impressiveness of them is lost on me in the here and now but I would never begrudge a game of the era for my modern sensibilities.

I mean, it's a fact of life that casuals will have misinformed opinions on things they're not passionate about, but ultimately they are the main ones funding the games and series we enjoy.
DI MOLTO!
