>>45723i watch gameplay videos mostly now, it's a lot faster than buying the games myself, and much easier than playing it myself. certain games i've never been good at like RTS and MOBA but i watch aoe2 videos every day, and the dota international tournament is something i watch every year.
so yeah i stopped enjoying playing the games myself but that transitioned into enjoying watching the games being played
i grew up having to watch my older brother play RTS games on the computer. we had to share the computer, so we'd get like an hour each every day, but i'd always give him my hour so he could continue playing. it's weird but i've transitioned back into this behavior of not playing the games but still enjoying watching others play it
