Im pretty sure if you just make good games gamers will buy them.

If I do a review on a Procter-Silex stand mixer, showing off the box, everything inside and do a demo, do I owe them money too? I've spoiled how the stand mixer works, and now that people have seen it in action, why would they go out and buy it. People with this mindset are the same ones working on ways to have each individual watching a rented movie pay a fee.

People that strictly watch videogames for entertainment are a very small group.

That's an incorrect analogy. For the mixer, watching it being used does not give you its primary benefit: Mixing stuff.

I can watch videos of cars all day, it won't transport me to my job.

However, games are entertainment. Some people derive entertainment from watching games, especially very linear games that depend on story such as Heavy Rain or other Point N' Clicks. Some people are only really interested in the story of a game and so on.

 

Good point, what about game plots on wikipedia and many many other outlets. If you can just read the story, then why play the game? (Well written)Story driven games make up likl %5 of all videogames.
