My firm opinion on any and all "youtubers" especially regarding gaming broadcasts:

If you watch that poo poo you are wasting away your life. Especially since you could be playing the game/ a different game yourself in the same timespan and at least have a modicum of interactivity.
And "I can watch it at work bzt can't play there" doesn't qualify as an argument because 90% of people watching it are underaged and don't work yet or unemployed.

People need to realize watching someone doesn't make your own life more interesting. Living it does.

Tl;dr: watching "youtubers" is stupid no matter who they are.

Unless he's like rich from youtube bux and her old dad can sponge off him then I dunno, that'd be ok I think

I call bullshit on this post. How can you call watching Youtube "wasting away your life" then proceed to say that people should play the game themselves (which is also wasting away your life from certain perspectives)?

What is wrong with doing both? If the people playing the game are entertaining, then that's why I watch it. It's just a form of entertainment like all the rest.

Games are made to be played. If your are interested in games and watch a random dude on the net play them when you could actually play yourself is downright stupid (unless you are watching a a walkthrough because you are stuck).
Why not play that poo poo yourself? You are depriving yourself of at 2/3 of the experience.

It's like having a gym membership and a gym next door but instead of going yourself you watch other people work out from your couch. Or living in Munich and instead of going to beerfest while it is held, you watch those stupid documentaries about it at home.

I just don't get it.

Also watching others do stuff you could do yourself is always a waste of time, UNLESS you do it to learn something (such as watching a carpenter build a patio on youtube to then do yours the same way).
Playing the game is acting out your hobby.

Okay yeah sure I should have known any going-out-of-the-house-activity comparison would be beyond the average goon.

Let's try again:

Watching PdP play a game you like is like watching other people poo poo on my posts instead of doing it yourself.
Ultimately you feel much better typing a snide comment yourself.
