Well, there is nothing wrong with maximizing your fun per hour -whether that be some of the time, or all of the time. However, playing to maximize FPH can often be at odds with trying to get really good at a game. For example, whooping up on your friends is probably more fun than consistently getting your ass handed to you by tournament level players, or practicing the same move over and over again in the Street Fighter training room. But if your goal is to be able to reach the highest levels of play, you need to challenge yourself against better players, and be able to consistently parry supers or execute complex moves.
It’s not unlike trying to get really good at a sport or playing an instrument. You can certainly play casually, and get decent by mucking about, but if you want to get really good, you’re going to have to put in some hard work, and do things that some people would consider to be unfun.
So when I say, “fun is for casuals,” it’s a tongue in cheek way of saying that getting really good will require effort and work.
