people here are saying watching let's plays are pathetic yet maybe don't realize that people can't afford every game or console that comes out. I've never watched one but I've been debating it for a few titles on PS4.

I'll generally watch the Halo Championships on twitch which I find no different than watching golf, poker or any sport for that matter. People do some pretty impressive stuff in the pro circuit for video games as do athletes in the sport they play. Watching sports is no different just because people are being 'active'. You, too, could go play said sport. You don't have to play in a professional league to play football. I'm so sick of everyone saying "it's not the same cause not everyone can be in the NFL or MLB", there are plenty of leagues for you to join with people who aren't professionals...

If people want to watch other people play video games then let them. Some are watching for the player's personality, others to check out the game or to watch the pro players play.
