In- Short:
Casual Gamer is the lowest common denominator in the gaming industry.
Explanation:
Gamer that put simplicity over complexity.
Most pre-2000 games are propagating difficulty by complexity.
Sadly, the demand for such games is decreasing, as the majority of gamers is getting less and less demanding for intellectually challenging games caused by the intellectual degradation of the society (see "dumbing down society").
Such gamers are called Casual Gamers.
They, as the majority are the pillars of the gaming industry.
As such, the gaming industry is prioritizing their demands and adjusting towards it creating a silent standard or a collective casual gaming model.

Casual Gamer redefined standards as shown below:
Tomb Raider, 1996 -> Complex, Good classical music creating a fantastic atmosphere, gigantic levels, great riddles.
Tomb Raider, 2013 -> Simple level design (a straight line), generic action series music, no unique atmosphere at all, small chambers, very simple riddles.
Even FPS games:
Duke Nukem 3D, 1996 -> Complex level design, big levels, many small riddles.
Duke Nukem Forever, 2011-> level design = straight line, one or two simple riddles, totally messed up weapons handling and energy economy.
H&S/ Rpg:
Diablo 1 compared to Diablo 3 -> needless to say.

A person who refuses to play video games. A typical anti-gamer usually is an attractive female with an IQ below 90. Most anti-gamers do not have a viable reason to hate video games other than "They are immature" or "they are for nerds", and rarely have an excuse beyond that. When, in reality, video games are played by almost everyone in the 12-40 Age group.
Anti-gamers refuse to play video games also because they think they are too cool for it. This is to make up for their exceedingly low IQ. However, playing video games is considered cool in today's society.
Anti-gamers sometimes spin-off from retro-only gamers, which are usually female gamers who refuse to play any video game made past 1990.

"My friend cringed at me when I asked if she was going to get Dragon Quest VIII this fall!"
"What did she say?"
" 'Video games are uncool. You're totally immature!' "
"Wow, what an anti-gamer"

Someone who is obsessed with video gaming, physical and mental traits that help you identify them include:
Poor hygiene - greasy unwashed hair that never gets combed - games are more important to the individual, how ever some do actually look after their appearance.
Blunt personality - they are usually in "cuckoo land" dreaming of being inside a video game or what they are going to play when they get home from work/school. Long hours in front of the computer and having no social life leads to an underdeveloped personality, they are generally self-centered and over confident in decisions they make making them look like an idiot out in the real world.
Unintelligent - because of the long hours they spend at the computer they know how to do nothing else only click a mouse button and tap keys on a keyboard, ask them to start a lawnmower(they probably don't know how).
Over reacting - this is usually more prominent in the gamer who is also obsessed with anime, acting out expressions in real life that you would only find in a cartoon.
Under slept - long hours at the computer causes severe sleep debt over time, they can be found to have very pale and badly complexioned skin with raw looking eyes, ignorance to lack of sleep can cause insanity in time.
