| TRAVIS!!! said: Not really the same thing. If you watch a movie on Youtube, you have basically the same experience, just in a lesser quality, but you've still seen the movie. Watching a Let's Play isn't even remotely the same as actually playing a game by yourself. People usually watch those videos primarily for the commentary and certain personalities, and videos that show off good games can serve as an incentive to buy and play them yourself. I'd say it's a little different when content-creators upload full playthroughs without commentary/criticism, but that's still not the same as actually playing a game. |
That's pretty much it. Or maybe next time Honda will start taking out videos of Civics because people will stop buying the cars and will just watch videos of people driving it on YouTube.
