Cerebral Fix CEO Ben Dellaca Says They Just “Discovered” Mid-Core Gaming. We Beg To Differ.

In an article at games.blog.com  Cerebral Fix CEO Ben Dellaca says they just discovered “Mid-core Gaming”:

Is Zynga dominating social games on Facebook so much, that it’s, in a way, killing it? 

I go to all of the conferences and I’m forever seeing developers who are actually looking at the likes of Zynga and going, “Let’s do that!” Which I think is crazy… Pick something you’re really great at, start there and really polish that up. A lot of game companies moving into, and getting their butts kicked, in the social space are better off, in my opinion, doing something that’s a little more core. We’ve just figured this out recently and have a new buzzword called ‘Mid-core’ gaming.

I hope he doesn’t mean they “invented it”.  If so, we humbly beg    to    differ.

      Well, let’s be honest Jeff, back then we found another reference from about 4 months prior, but it was said in passing.   You certainly popularized for that short amount of time in 2008.

    To give Dellaca the benefit of the doubt, when he said “we”, it’s not entirely clear if he meant his company, or the game development community at large. But most wouldn’t consider a 2008 buzzword to be “new” (in the context of video gaming history), so it’s probably the former.  C’mon, Ben, do a google (or at least check Wikipedia) before making statements like that.
