I don't "get" Twitch streaming

Why would anyone want to watch me/someone else play games?

If they're good at commentary or a very skilled player it can be entertaining or informational.

Because they find the person entertaining? May not be your thing, but its not that hard to understand.

The only streamer that I watch is RussianBadger, because it's basically like one of his videos but a lot longer <.<

It's just as entertaining and you tend to get a lot more DICE logic moments or amusing stories that he doesn't tell on youtube >.>

Yeah I agree, unless you need to if you're stuck in an area or something like that. Why watch someone else play, wouldn't you rather play yourself?

I like to watch people with entertaining personalities.

I watch Ninja all the time. Met him a few years back at an event and hes a genuine dude.

I stream from time to time and can usually pull 20+ viewers.

I waste my money on books, so it's how I get around not being able to get a game right when it comes out.

The only LP I'll watch is Two Best Friends Play, because it's so fucking hilarious. I'm practically cackling every time I see one of their videos.

I prefer youtube videos. I'm never on when my favorite streamers are on.

I think it's funny and relaxing watching someone play a game. Commentary gives a good reason to watch and like Das said, informational.

I watch Lets Plays on youtube but thats it.
