Some games are more fun to watch than actually playing. And you don't have to experience the rage of defeat.

Also helps for games with lots of grinding for resources. Get to just skip that with some basic editing (which is also why I don't watch much streaming content... why watch someone else grind for resources for hours on end?)

Literally all games from Paradox.

I like playing more than watching, but I know a lot of what I do when playing would not be fun to watch.

Huh,life's a game now apparently

It took me a while to figure out why people watch sports but then realized that

That's exactly what I do with games. Watch instead of play

I find myself only ever watching things like the water temple on zelda. Seemingly impossible feats to conquer, yet my buddy thinks im insane for paying 70 to play a game when he can watch it for free on YouTube.
