[quote]It has nothing do with what people enjoy, why are you getting into that? And no thanks I'd rather not watch those over rated destiny streamers, I'm not looking for anything. People are dumb for watching streamers, they're dumb for giving them money, throw them a couple bucks sure but the people who give them over $100 are insane. Sure anyone can enjoy games, did I say they couldn't? No. Video games are awesome, that's why you play and experience them yourself, and not pay others to play them for you. Like I said, I doubt the people donating are unable to play these games themselves because if they have money to give a stranger playing games they have money to spend.[/quote] Well I guess you're either being purposefully ignorant or you're just unable to grasp the conversion. Honestly I think you know you're wrong, but are too proud too admit it. You can't understand why someone would give money to a streamer. Your argument is you can play games yourself. In response I say why pay to watch your favorite sports team? Sports are awesome, that's why you play and experience them yourself right? It has EVERYTHING to do with what people enjoy. You don't enjoy it so you think it's dumb to do and support. Maybe we think what you like is dumb to do and support. Video games are dumb and bring no value to the world. It's dumb to buy them. You're paying someone to sit at a computer all day inventing fake things. Am I wrong? No, that's just my opinion ( just using your logic on something you enjoy, not actually how I feel ). [quote] I doubt the people buying tickets are unable to play these sports themselves because if they have money to give a stranger playing sports they have money to spend.[/quote] Again, same logic. If someone enjoys watching someone play baseball or video games, why are they insane in either case? Because you're ignorant and can't accept other people's interests? You can't understand why someone would pay to watch. I'm telling you it's because they are providing entertainment. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others don't either. Are you really not getting that? No you didn't say anyone can't play games. My point was that even some pro athletes like to "sit around all day playing games". One enjoyed watching others play so much that he sponsored a team. You think it's ok to pay to watch sports because you don't think "I" can go play that sport. You don't know who I am or my skills. I doubt you can play at the level of pro gamers so I think you should pay to watch them. If I can do something myself or not doesn't matter. If I enjoy watching someone do something why can't I pay or support them? Why are they overrated? Have you watched them? How long? Have you played them? How much? Did you beat them? Their team? In a competitive match or tournament? TLDR: Just because you don't enjoy something doesn't mean others don't. People often pay to be entertained even if it's something they can do themselves. You're ignorant because you are trying to force your interests/dislikes/opinions on others because you don't/can't/refuse to accept or understand theirs or that they have different ones. You're telling other people they're wrong and dumb and insane because they don't think exactly like you. This was a simple response that you can't seem to accept. You don't know why people pay streamers? Because they like them and what they do. FYI I have not and do not plan on giving any money to any steamer. I understand why someone would pay for something they enjoy though.
