I do not consider myself to a core gamer who plays the game to get all the details, have a ton of games or grind but nevertheless I do play games more than the average gamer and even moreso than the casual but with miyamoto's new project that will have the game play itself, it may blur the line so to speak on the casual and hardcore gamer. I would personally find it disturbing of all of sudden, my father, cousin or grandparents would know all about Kingdom Hearts, Zelda or Gears or War but that is the fear of almost every gamer imaginable and that is my own personal fear as well. I don't know if this third way may blur the line between casual and hardcore gaming or have someone talk all about the games while at work in the same manner the talk of Lost or some other dumb show on television but this personally disturbs me and I don't know if I am ready for this. Is anyone here ready for that of it comes along?

Final Fantasy XII already blurred that line with the gambit system xD
See that's something alot of hardcore gamers have complained about, but I don't really see why it would be a problem. So what they know about the series? As long as the games themselves aren't dumbed down to let grandma play, I don't see what the big deal is.
Personally, I think it would be nice if I was more openly able to talk about games amongst other people. And quite frankly, if you're so attached to your hobby that you're "not ready" for other people to know about it...I think you may need help. It's not like gamers are in some super secret club or like we discovered the fountain of youth and we have to keep everything hush hush. What's so horrid about having discussions with coworkers about our hobby?
