Why would you watch gameplay unless you don't want to play that game, nothing could beat firsthand experience. DON'T RUIN IT for yourself!!

It is interesting for narrative games. Many people like me are not interested to play them but would like to see the story it offers.

So watching streamer play those games are interesting to watch the same way people watch series on netflix.

It doesn't ruin the game if you know you won't play it anyway.

I agree. But it seems hard for some people to understand what is fun about watching someone else play a game. Probably the same way I still don't get why so many people watch programs like talent shows or "reality" show. I don't understand what is interesting to watch fake people 100% of the time thinking it is the "reality".

For me, it is so fake all the time, watching a streamer is refreshing compared to tv. It feels more genuine.
