    To watch a game or to play a game


    In terms of experiencing a game, I would rather prefer to play it myself to experience all possible outcomes/strategies. There is something about watching content that doesnt translate the immersive aspects of games. That said, I watch a lot of content,
    but not necessarily because I want to see gameplay, but because I enjoy the videos content creators produce and their interactions with the game and each other. In regard to your last question, while I do feel that anyone who solely watches games can be classified
    as a fan of games and gaming, but my gut tells me that in order to have the term "gamer" apply, they must actually be playing it themselves. This is all semantics though, I don't feel like any sort of gatekeeping applies or necessarily detracts from the fact
    that everyone who enjoys and can appreciate gaming belongs in this community, regardless of their method of content consumption.

    :)

    I like to play the game first and if i already finished the game and it has multiple endings, i watch to see other people decision and endings

    I think they should be considered part of the gaming community. I was a ton of streamed games. Not always for the games though. Many times it's for the interaction with the streamers or the other people in the chat room. I'm not surprised at all that streaming
    has taken off. I remember when I was growing up how big chat rooms were online. This isn't much different from that other than you have someone streaming a game and talking to you at the same time. I still play a ton of games too. I could definitely see people
    who dont play games enjoying it too. It's like TV with a chatroom. Interactive TV. Cant beat that right?

    I would rather play a game.... sitting there staring at someones ugly mug playing a game isnt my idea of fun lol.

    I dont mind watching now and then game play streams where all you see is the game and nothing more.

    I prefer to do both

    I watch many streams on gameplay from games I love to play myself

    One good example is Minecraft.

    By watching various streams, I've learned many new build styles
