[quote]My comment on riding dick has nothing to do with anyone but you defending streamers so hard. Athletes train hard and have abilities most do not, sitting on your ass screaming at a video game to keep children entertained is something that requires little to no effort. Want to pay to watch a hockey game go ahead, because you're obviously not going to play on the ring with them, wanna watch a guy play games? Why? You can play it yourself. I don't watch streamers, it isn't my thing, but when I have tuned in, most of them are just casually playing a game, thanking the people who subscribe, if that's enough entertainment to start giving these guys even more money then yea, more money than sense.[/quote] I'm more than defending streamers. I'm saying people have the right to enjoy and support different activities. How do you know what abilities people have? You know lots of pro athletes enjoy video games. At least 1 has even sponsored a pro gaming team. The person sitting on the other side of the tv or forum or donating to a steamer could be a doctor, a lawyer or a pro athlete. Yes it's true, athletes train a lot to be good, even the ones who have more natural ability. Do you think pro gamers don't practice a lot or train hard? Sure there's also more casual streamers. Some help with in game activities. Some just provide comedy or other entertainment along with their stream which makes them popular. There's more than one reason to enjoy watching someone or something. Do you only watch your favorite team because they're the best? Do you watch because they're from your home town? You relate to them in some way? You like what they do off the field? Maybe they're the anti hero? You know some people watch while they can't play. Maybe they're on break at work and watch a stream instead of listen to music. Or they tune in while preparing a meal or cleaning the house instead of doing it in silence. Some even do it while playing the game. Not everyone is just staring at a bad player going 0-20 in crucible while throwing money at the screen. You watched a few minutes of "casual" gaming on streams and were disappointed because it wasn't the most thrilling, adrenaline pumping, death defying thing you ever saw? What did you expect? If you want to watch "good" gameplay, watch "better" players. Watch triple wreck, real kraftyy or datto etc. Watch a different game that you're into. Or don't watch. Just no need to tell other people their interests are wrong or that they're dumb because you don't enjoy something they enjoy.
