    It’s interactive media. Why just watch when you can do?

    It’s not really surprising. Maybe Hideo Kojima and his massive interactive movies were ahead of their time.

        When you don’t want to do, you can watch someone else do on twitch… I’m not even GenZ and I kind of do the same thing sometimes.

          Or youtube, I get far more entertainment watching dankpods replace a cars oil with fucking chocolate than I do watching your average marvel movie. Deadpool and Wolverine was good though.

    In my experience they mostly seem to watch somebody else play a video game.

    As a longtime movie lover, I find myself drawn towards games over movies now. I never thought it would happen to me but games can tell such great stories now that I have a hard time choosing a movie over a few hours of gaming. Weird for me to even admit that to myself since I wanted to make movies in my younger years.
