He has a point tho.
Games like league of legends, dota, counter strike, CoD and so on all gain popularity and publicity with twitch and youtube.
But games like Beyond: two souls, The last of us, The walking dead: telltale and so on all lose revenue because of these walkthroughs.

just because a game has a strong story does not mean watching it is enough to experience the game. TLoU is a very, very weak example too, it has a deap, intense and fluid gameplay. might as well saying watching mario is just as the same as playing it.

as for Beyond and Walking dead. dont you make your own choices in those games? then watching them takes away A LOT of the experience. 

I know a lot of people who just watch playthroughs of these games so they don't have to buy them.

TWD and TloU are 1 of the best examples imo. 

Look at the playthrough of pewdiepie of tlou. 1st vid has 10million views, and all the vids an average between 4 and 5million. And that's just 1 channel.

Like I said, only story driven games suffer from this. A story can be oh so good, but why do it all over again when you know how it's going to end? Some people don't care or just don't find the motivation to buy and play through a whole game when they've already seen someone elses entire run.
