Gamers are spending more time watching videos about gaming on YouTube and Twitch than playing games themselves.

True for me. Rare are the days whenni have the mental capacity for playing a game after work. Just watching is easier on the brain.

Clearly, sometimes watching a TV show or a Youtube video is way less demanding than gaming.

I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it’s my reality.

I also know that I really love immersing myself into story driven games, so playing a few minutes before cooking the meal isn’t an option.

Sticking on a streamer who you can just listen to chat while they happen to be playing a game is just a newer version of having the TV or radio on in the background while you do other stuff. Sometimes we just want to chill and not have to focus!
