Why do you find it so easy to ignore the people who say it's for the commentary, not the game play?

>Stephanie Joosten
Anon, that beautiful creature's name is spelled Stefanie
>>
>>344233258
yet there are 1000's of successful videos that have no commentary. Dont use willful ignorance to make an invalid point

I've come to terms with the fact that people do this, I guess it's just a desire to have cool friends who like the same shit you do which is how all e-celebs make their cash. I don't know why you'd ruin a game you can go out and play right now by having some dipshit talk over it but for some games you don't plan to play I guess it's alright.

Now, the people who donate to Twitch streams and shit? Pure fucking cancer.

i have gained countless invaluable techniques, habbits, and strategies from watching high level players play Rainbow Six: Siege. This has then lead to me gaining a better understanding of the game and coming up with a lot of my own tech on maps that have worked out very well.
>>
For the most part I watch for entertainment, but I also play games more then I watch people play games

because its nice to be passive for a change.

i can eat food, drink, scratch my balls whilst watching someone play. Also i only watch games i have zero chance of playing myself, such as obscure Steam releases, or PC games
>>
>>344233006
I only follow like a handful of people on twitch, Joosten is one of them

I usually just put it on as background noise when I'm doing something else

Ever heard of watching to get a feel for the gameplay before buying?
Being intrigued?
Having an interest in game design?
>>
not having to play them.

I don't have time/energy anymore.

I feel absolutely retarded speaking to myself while nobody is watching.

Watching sports is even more boring than watching people play videogames
>>
I sometimes watch for games I'm not good at myself, to try to learn how to play them better.

Like EUIV
>>
>>344238462
Basically this. Occasionally I'll watch if it's a game I might want.
>>
There are time when I don't want to play video games, generally because I'm too tired to focus and play optimally.

During those times, I also don't really want to watch good TV, because if I have enough focus to get engaged in a good series, I have enough focus to be playing a video game. So it comes down to either garbage TV that I don't really need to pay attention to, or video game footage with people talking over it that I also don't need to pay attention to.

>>344238595
Why are you trying to force this?
>>
>>344238595
not even remotely similar. This is saying all white people look alike which is racist

Entertainment while eating, white noise while doing the dishes or ironing, and >>344233114

Sometimes it's on in the background while farming in vidya or doing something basic in vidya. So it doesn't replace playing vidya like some fucking morons tend to think it does, it's an aside.

I only watch pic related though.
