For all your talking shit about muh deep RPG and pokeman (god just use pokemon. You are not a child that need some insult name to make your argument more valid) is a kid game, while it is pretty simple on the surface and when played on single player, the actual system is more complicated. If you try playing it competitively, even for a TB game, will get your arse kicked roqua. WHat does it need to do to become a "mature" game? Some gritty plotlines involving hooker and blackjack?
And regarding watching people play game, as people said, it is no different than watching sports. I can do sports. I have time to play sports. The same case with videogames. Does sport is not invented to be played instead of to be watched? There are times when people just want to kickback, turn off most brain function after 10 hours grueling work and 2 hours commute, and enjoy something without too much thinking. There are times that I want to compare how well I did compared to people better at playing video games than I do.
Why would I use pokeman? It is for kids. And I'm sure that I would get my ass kicked at super competitive Shoots and Ladders or the game Sorry!, even for TB games.
Mature games do not have a target audience that include 6 to 12 year old kids. That is Pokeman's core audience. That is the core audience of Minecraft, and other little kids shit. Why is this so hard for your fucking monkeys to understand? Some products, mostly hipster and console shit, is made specifically to appeal to little kids and stupid adults who do not like thinking or depth or complexity such as Bioware games, Bethesda games, CD Project games, Harry Potter, Hunger Game, the Vampire and Werewolf love story books and movies, etc. This is fodder for the monkey consumers who let society think for them, and little kids who are stilling learning how to think, never mind think for themselves. This is all fact. All of this is done on purpose. That is why adults and children now have the same fashion taste and like the same brands. The homogenization and consumerization of the biggest audience possible - kids, stupids, and hipsters. If you are one you will deny and regurgitate and blah blah blah all day and never get it and never see it, and be all giddy with excitement over the next big thing like a idiotphone 8.2s, or a new Harry poet, or a new Dragon Age.
Watching people play video games is not like watching people watch sports unless you only watch competitive esports. Do you? No. Do the majority of people watch the best people play competitively? No, they watch minecraft, and roblox, and five nights at freddies, and the same shit my kids watch.
This is literally equivalent to watching a janitor mop the bathroom at a football stadium. 99% of everyone is watching the janitor mop the bathroom and clean toilets, and 1% are watching the game.
Do you travel two hours and buy 100$ tickets to watch peewee football or T-Ball? No. People watch professional athletes compete. If you are watching professional video game players compete against each other in a competitive game your analogy is fucking retarded. If you are watching some fucking retard play a single player game, especially an rpg, you are a fucking moron. Period. There is no argument here. This is how it is. Play the fucking game yourself. There is a 99% chance the game is ridiculously easy and only a brain dead monkey cretin could find it challenging. Did you think the new fake Fall Outs where difficult or any of the Dragon Ages or Kotors or Witchers? If so, you are a fucking idiot or you have MS (witch is a damn fine excuse for sucking at the twitchier games).
So, it seems to me like you are not good at thinking, making analogies, or life in general. Why should I or anyone listen to anything you have to say?
