    If my kids were unmonitored, they’d probably watch game streamers all day, every day.

    I rationalize it like watching sports, but I don’t really understand that either.

      When you were younger did you ever watch a sibling or a friend play a game? Same vibe, but it’s a streamer you find enjoyable or entertaining.

        My attention wanders if I’m not playing.

        I totally understand that people might enjoy it, however. It just isn’t for me.

        We fought because we both wanted to play. My father ended up buying two game systems.

        I always did this. I let my friends play and I watched. Dunno why really. I still find it extremely hard to play single player games (or solo multiplayer), I just get bored. I need to either watch or play with a friend.
