What's the draw of watching/following streamers? (lemm.ee)

I've watched some here and there, but having to try to catch them when they stream has put me too much in the mind of old tv and catching shows when they air. Watching the recording afterward is maybe good for some white noise, but it's clearly not the intended experience I think.

At this point, I know there are so, so, so, so, SO many good games out there from 1977 onwards that I can just play whenever, that I lost interest in checking out new games. Maybe for the graphics, but unless there's a quantum leap in gaming (like, Matrix-like immersion without the dying), then I'm not interested.

And I don't exaggerate when I say 1977. Have you played Atari 2600's Phoenix? Shit is addictive!

Plus all the hundreds of thousands of homebrews.
