    Absolutely can’t stand watching people play video games. They play wrong.

    And the only videos I watch of a game are ones to see what kind of game it is when I don’t know too much beyond word of mouth “this game is great” kind of thing. Sure, you’ve described the game as an action-packed romp with tons of weapons and semi-open world, but the video shows it’s a 2d side scroller with variations of the same 5 pixel “guns” that all shoot the same ball. Not interested.

    Beyond that, I have no interest in watching videos. And if companies started trying to somehow cram even more ads into their games to advertise to people watching a stream then I’m even less in than before

      Every teenager on YouTube has suddenly become a professional gaming industry analyst for EA, Microsoft, Ubisoft and Bethesda’s failures, and could probably put it on a resume.

      “The problem with the industry today…”

      Fill in the rest with whatever and you’ve got hours and hours of angry, dissatisfied content for others to nod with.

      “ABYSMAL! UNINSPIRED!”

      That’s the spirit!
