People who get paid to play sports are just as sad then right?I mean I know one requires more physical skill, but in the end they're the same thing. Someone being good at and dedicated to something for the entertainment of others.....and money.

  • That's the thing, how is it more entertaining to watch a video game then play it? It's not like the experience is different, you could do it at home unlike playing in the World Series or Super Bowl or Stanley cup. I love playing hockey but watching is different, I can't play professionally where I video games I can do 4x better than the streamers(I'm not great but I don't need to Use thorn shotgun and blink, I love f*cking around with NLB and failing)

  • It can be more entertaining if they're more skilled then you. Or are just entertaining themselves. They experience is different, you're not in control. How is watching vs playing hockey any different, it's not, you're not in control unless you're playing. But you're entertained, so you pay. Another thing about streamers, you don't have to pay them, and that's a risk they're taking. If a ball player totally blows and sinks the team, he still gets paid. If a streamer sucks, they won't be around long in that regard unless they have alternate income.

  • But I cant just go to an arena and play for a team like that. I can do Crota or crucible like broman can though, I know I can

  • Exactly, you can't. So you pay for the perspective and enjoyment of watching those who can. Not all can rule in Trials, or MKX, any number of games. But if they wish to pay to watch someone entertain them and do what they can't what's the problem?

  • There is none, I was just defending my opinion and testing the analogy. I don't have a problem with it besides that broman can live off of it. Planet destiny gives you the news everywhere they can on everything, reviewing every weapon and armor there is and they are very good at it, and thy have a stream too. All the streamers do is that they broadcast them playing with donators, and they Palau the same way everyone does. The only prob I have with it is that they live off of it while planet destiny members have real jobs and give me insight a lot better Do you really think assholes like wishyouluck and shesmynerd should get paid for playing games?

  • No I don't. But they're entertaining to someone so they make money. But I also don't think all streamers should be lumped together because of a few bad eggs.
