So it seems this post is mostly about your love of watching videos of games and why don’t more people do that.
There are a few games I want to play but haven’t. I don’t generally enjoy watching other people play games, for me the fun is in the experience. The choices I make and the systems mastery I gain. Video games are active entertainment, a video is useful to see if I might like a game or to say watch the alternate endings but spending 40 hours watching
I watch a lets play with commentary from Pete Complete playing Rimworld because it’s basically a story generator and it’s a really good bit of passive entertainment. But it is not the same as playing the game, I’m invested in the characters which develop but not to the same extent as when I play Rimworld myself.
