What makes a game casual?
Why does being casual make a game bad?
if you want to know if a game is casual, you need to ask me
if I don't like it, then it's casual and other things
Casual games have low barrier of entry combined with little to no skill ceiling.

I fucked up, I meant that they have a very low skill ceiling instead of not having one.

fucking keyboard casual
casual is whatever i dont like
There's nothing wrong with casual games.
The problem is when an established series trends towards more casual tendencies to attract a larger audience, a move motivated purly by the developer's management/marketing team.

which is a good thing though, it is like how fallout got progressively better on every entry, same with elder scrolls.
The more streamlined the game is, the better it is. No need to input stats and allocate effects and crap, only needs simple perks to make the perfect game like Fallout.

Because casualized video games result in an industry crash. Look at the one in the 80s, caused by everyone being able to pump out casual shovelware. It's a simple supply-demand curve: supply was so huge that the market value of games crashed hard and most developers went out of business because they wouldn't make money. If more games are casualized it just makes it easier to make games, which floods the market with shit and lowers the value for everyone. Look at the average AAA studio: in spite of having corporate backing and millions of sales, developers are treated like sweatshop workers because all the budget goes into marketing and management; they know the casual consumer won't give a fuck how good the game actually is if marketing feeds it to them. Gaming is best as a niche hobby industry because those are the conditions that allow both the consumers to enjoy the hobby and the developers to prosper.

Really complicated stat games like Dark Souls 2 and Morrowind takes you out of the game and requires advanced programming skills to even play properly. With the new streamlined gaming philosophy of having all that boring stat crap taken out and replaced with perks it allows you to actually immerse yourself and game like videogames are supposed to be.
When videogames have chores like most "hardcore" games, it takes you out of the experience and makes it a programming simulator rather than a videogame.
