[casual_games] An interesting set of definitions

[Sheri Pocilujko]

>From the women's dev list:

Over at Online Alchemy, we use what we call the "4Cs" of playstyle
types: Core, Committed, Commando, and Casual. Core and Committed players
tend to enjoy long, frequent play sessions, while Commando and Casual
players either do not enjoy or do not have time for long and/or frequent
play sessions. Core and Commando players prefer to interact with the
game world in direct, aggressive ways (such as combat), while Committed
and Casual players prefer indirect interaction, such as socializing,
crafting, and story-driven play. So to put that all together, we have: 

Core: long play sessions, direct interaction 
Committed: long play sessions, indirect interaction 
Commando: short play sessions, direct interaction 
Casual: short play sessions, indirect interaction

Thoughts?
