I once again reiterate that 9/10 times this is not a financial issue lmao
Most people wanting to be recognized for watching youtube vids are middle class with at least a phone and pc
You can tell this post was made by an american because Latinos would just tell you skill issue and and brute force the setings to run GTA IV on your mom's work laptop
@BallOfGoo@BiXolotl@Potato_UwU68 I swear these cunts love playing victim, you offer a solution and they rant over how it's not possible cause X o Y. Miserable bastards. It's not just about games cause this mentality seeps into all aspects of their lives.
I'm so fucking tired of this "one can be a fan of video games without playing them" bs getting attention and being discussed here for like a millionth time.
For the love of god just watch a movie, and don't even think of saying that "what if he can't afford" when a gamer from a third world country can manage to play despite all of the third world problems while americans get all of the facilities within their hands.
I hope i don't see this discourse ever again and I'll be muting anyone in TL no matter the side cause i wanna see new indie titles and gameplay clips like how i used to few days back and not whatever larpers are cooking.
you can’t be a fan of a food without eating it, you can’t be a fan of a movie without watching it, you can’t be a fan of a book without reading it. For some reason people fail to see how this applies to video games as well.
no way there’s serious discourse on the tl about whether or not you can call yourself a fan of games you’ve never played. the defining aspect of the medium is interactivity wtf do you think the answer is?
"you are elitist for thinking I have to play the game instead of watching a yt recap of its story, not everyone can afford expensive hardware and games" - says mf who played insomniac spiderman and The last of us 2 but can't be bothered to pick up first silent hill

This is also only a recent phenomenon with video games.
It’s primarily because zoomers, to use their slang, have cooked attention spans. Putting the phone down and actually committing to a video game is too much to ask for with a lot of people.
That’s how bad it’s gotten.
The “you can be a fan of a game without playing it” argument reminds me that people don’t see games as art. It’s a medium built around personal engagement, that's what gameplay is, it’s what makes games what they are. Is it really that hard to acknowledge and respect that?
@RandomGunFur@Gray_Smoke_Fox@GeorgieIsOk All that semen in your brain avoided the 'relatively' part. Ask your grandparents how many of them cares about books and films on a non-superficial level
