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?

I’m the opposite. I rarely find it enjoyable to watch someone else play a game, to the point that I have a hard time understanding things like Twitch, much less that game streaming more broadly took off the way it has.
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.
Ha, well put. Exactly. “Ah, you young’uns and your silly fads and phases…”
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.
