hurc is a dormant gamer?

Based on a survey of almost 2,000 US online gamers, the market break up into the following segments:

Power gamers--Only accounting for 11 percent of the gaming audience, they make up 30 percent of the revenue drawn by retail and online games.

Social gamers--This self-explanatory group games for the social interactions with friends.

Leisure gamers--This group mostly sticks to casual games (playing as many as 58 hours a month), but doesn't shy away from challenging titles.

Dormant gamers--These people really enjoy gaming, but can't play often due to other time commitments. When they do find time to play, they prefer complex, challenging titles and playing with friends or family.

Incidental gamers--The incidental crowd plays games if they're bored and can spend more than 20 hours each month with online games.

Occasional gamers--Part of the previously labeled "casual" group, occasional gamers rarely stray beyond the genres of puzzle games, word games, and board games.
