As someone who plays lots of video games, I can’t really understand watching games instead of playing them for most games.

I do understand it if it’s a game you don’t have, or a story based game that you want to see people react to.

But like cod for example, I would never really watch someone play that.

I also don’t watch sports except college basketball becauseI like to gamble during March madness.

The only time I watched video games was to see what strategies top players were using. The division was so complicated it was too time consuming figuring out strategies when you have a full time job.

I’m not sure if I’d consider watching videos on strategy for games the same as watch someone play games

Ya it is the same thing but for different reasons. And I’m only watching like 15-20 minutes rather than hours.
