Mikami is arguably the best director to be saying this because not only has he authored some of the most replayable and well designed games ever made, but he's also responsible for creating the videogame series with the most posers out there
Shinji Mikami, the creator of Resident Evil, recently shared his thoughts on game streams and playthrough videos, saying that great games should make people want to play them themselves.
Speaking about watching games online,“If viewers watch a playthrough of a game all the way to the end and are satisfied with just that, then it was only that good of a game.”
“Our job is to make games that leave people wanting to clear them with their own hands, even if they’ve watched someone else do it, so keep streaming.”
