I don't know man. If you're liking a game enough that you can sit through a 10+ hour playthrough and still not want to play the game, then I really don't know what to say. I think most people at that point would just buy the game to experience it for themselves, even if they know what to expect. Watching for me only makes me want to play it more, if I like what I'm seeing that is. But perhaps you have some crazy ability to suppress your desires (god that sounded wrong). Although I will agree that I've seen some people not buy David Cage's "games" because they just saw a playthrough of it. But then again I wouldn't really call any of his "games" games. 

To address your other point about LPs being good for MP games. Taking that into account, LPs or gameplay videos, whatever you want to call them are overall good for the industry since many of the biggest games nowadays are very co-op/MP oriented.

Well, its just the whole "I already know whats going to happen so I don't really care about it the second time around" sorta deal. Its kind of like watching a movie as an example cause if you already watched the movie for free, why would you go out and buy it on bluray? You already know the plot and everything thats going to happen so why bother? Its similar logic when it comes to various single player "LPs"/games but to a bit lesser degree cause games give you a way to interact with it as well as providing you with a bit of a different experience in your playthrough but imo, for a lot of the single player games, the experience won't be different enough in order to get the most amount of value for that $60. A game is at its finest is when its new and spoiler free and the game is at its weakest when you already know everything about it.

And don't get me wrong, I am not saying we should ban LPs and LPs are the worst thing to happen since animal porn cause I am not trying to say that at all. I enjoy watching LPs from people like SShopkc from the games I have already played and he is a very entertaining and honest person. But what I am saying is that LPs should quit whining about companies when stuff like this happens and they should adapt (by doing royalty-free music) and/or understand that mistakes happen instead of trying to act like they are doing the companies a favor cause without the companies' content, what they do is meaningless and no one would care about them.

Yes, you do have the "core" that always watch a channels video no matter what they upload but imo, those are the minority in the case of Most LPs. Most people are drawn to the game rather than the person that plays them but granted that it is a bonus if your favorite LP does play it. Its like when Sshopkc was playing D4 and I don't really care about that game so I didn't bother watching it but when he uploaded Mario Kart 8, I was like fuck yea I will watch that shit.
