Despite video games becoming more dumbed-down and "casualised"

Most kids don't get every game they ask for. With how quickly games come out and with the current marketing of video games you can't really blame them.

I don't like streamer personalitys, but I'll watch a playthrough of a story focused game if it doesn't have commentary over it.

It's just another form of entertainment. People feel a personal connection with streamers because it's live and they enjoy the memes. Because of this kids will use their parents hard earned dollarydoos to support streamers.

I find it ridiculous, but at the same time I don't really think it's that different from watching some shitty TV or watching a football game.

I play games for the story, so I always check out the plot on Twitch.

havnt played a single game in the last couple years
pressing the buttons myself is not worth 60 bucks

I like to watch interesting people do interesting things with interesting games

There's two reasons I watch people play video games. Either the person playing them is adding their own twist to it (usually jokes and/or voicing the characters for me personally), or I've already played the game and I want to get that first time experience second hand from watching someone else play it

watching events or tournaments = perfectly fine
watching steamers or e-celebs = seriously think about where your life has gone wrong.

>watching a regular guy play videogames badly while overreacting to everything?

I watch Twitch but can't stand that kind of streamer. I like chill streamers who seem like people I'd hang out with IRL, especially ones who play with a group that has good chemistry.

Watching streams is like free TV, except instead of watching shitty TV shows I'm watching someone play a game that's actually a bit interesting. At least in my case I usually do it when I don't feel like playing anything myself and browse the internet in another screen.

People who donate/subscribe are the same people who buy any other useless crap - they either have access to money they didn't earn or just have poor impulse control and want to see their name on the screen.
