In 1987 we thought the future of entertainment would be people playing interactive movies and TV shows, so they could get right inside the story.

In 2017 the cutting edge of entertainment is TV shows of other people playing videogames so you don't have to.

@natecull I really can't understand why one would self-limit that much.

@pnathan I... kinda do understand it for games that you can't be bothered playing and don't intend buying but are sort of curious about what the story is.

But watching other people play Overlegends of the Ancient Watch II? I don't get that at all.

(I don't get *playing* those kind of games either tbh.)

@natecull @pnathan When the channel is oriented towards teaching strategy, I can get it. Beaglerush, for example - while he does make efforts to be entertaining in his streams, he's also very much about demonstrating and explaining strategy and mechanics.

But he's pretty much the only streamer I know of who's doing that kind of thing. And it's oriented towards a very particular type of games (mostly RTS, but he used to play a lot of ARMA and now plays some PUBG).
