I’m old now. I’ve finally realised I get more enjoyment from watching someone play than to actually play the game. Why is that? Do you experience that as well?

    Yeah, if I’d been given a chance to buy Twitch in its first year for $100, I would have said no. I play a lot of video games but watching video game streaming for fun is beyond my comprehension. It was one of my first “No, it’s the children who are wrong” moments.

      I could MAYBE understand it if the person playing is my actual friend irl and we’re having a conversation while he’s playing, or he’s telling me tips and tricks for parts i get stuck on or whatever. But if there’s a choice between me playing a game, or watching a video of someone else play the game, I can’t imagine choosing to watch someone else play instead of me playing.
