Having been someonewho used to watch alot alot of gameplay in my younger days it's alot of not having the tech to play AAA titles like streamers can, or if youre interested in a gmes but not quite enough to buy it just yet. As far as paying streamers is king of an "I get entertainment so I'm willing to pay" sort of thing. Like TV youre paying by watching ads, or networks like Hulu or Netflix youre paying the  for service. Similar idea. I've never paid a streamer but I am at an age where I realize that playing the games, even if they are more time consuming, are more fulfilling than watching someone play them. PS drunk, please ignore any errors.
