Why do people watch others play games?

What do they get out of it? Why not just play yourself?
>>
I'm too original, my username is never taken
>>
>>743370794
This. Sadly i cant admit my badass name or people will start taking it...

Its my reddit username too...

Why do you come here to post about people watching others playing games, instead of just playing them yourself?

I've been banned from reddit like 10 times. Not even for anything crazy. They perma banned my entire accounts sevral times for comments I made on the Europe sub reddit about immigrants committing crime.

My usual ID is from the random name button in WoW but with one letter changed and for some reason it has literally never been taken despite being a short name.

weird how a stupid tag i picked ages ago for a reason i already forgot became like a second name

You are safer with a shit name nobody likes or wants. As on PSN accounts would good names are targets of attacks to steal them. My account is just a name with a bunch of numbers on the end so nobody would care enough to steal it.

Reddit has too many hurdles for its own good.
>account can’t be new or your post gets deleted
>account needs enough “karma” (internet points) or your post gets deleted
>you can get banned because you posted something a mod didn’t like in an unrelated thread
>people will look through your history if you disagree with them
>hiding your post history means your hiding political beliefs
>>
>>743371470
The open comment history was good. Now it's shill haven
>>
>>743370681
Pressing buttons is too hard
>>
>>743371470
I think they got rid of the profile history thing. you can make it private now. but yeah reddit is a fucking garbage community to.participate in. its good for looking up info though
>>
>>743370681
I just add a letter to my name until it gets accepted. Had to go as far as raperrrrrrrr.

>>743370681
Cuck mentality promoted by has been uncs who gather to watch jiggaboos throw ball instead of ever throwing ball themselves.
>>
>>743371470
>>people will look through your history if you disagree with them
This is the worst shit. Weird smug faggots going through all your posts and comments and even using tools to find your deleted posts and comments. Reddit has way more weird mentally unstable people than 4chan.

For example any Sony game I can get the exact same experience watching someone play it (since it's 90% talking and cutscenes) and also save time and money by not buying it myself and skipping through the garbage sections

>>743371780
Trust me, viggers would be doing it all the time if that were a thing on here
>>
>>743370681
I tried to play paradox games myself and its too hard and complicated. I need a ph D for this shit. I need to watch YouTube to understand the systems
>>
>>743370681
I don't care anymore, I just add numbers or "namename"

>Why do people watch others play games?
loneliness
>What do they get out of it? Why not just play yourself?
i get fake social interaction with the streamer and the community. the fake equivalent of me going to a bar with real friends if i had them
>>
>>743370681
>Why do people watch others play games?
A lot of them are children or third worlders with limited income that can't afford many games, causing them to watch people play them instead.
There's no excuse if money isn't an issue though.
