Not kill their sales but what might their sales have been if people couldn't just YouTube the stories for themselves? |
Honestly, that's not even speculation worth having because the logic goes both ways anyway. How many people only bought it because they watched the first, say, 2 hours on Twitch and were so wowed by the game they wanted to play it themselves? We can't know either, but both are equally likely and therefore the risk and reward are both basically balanced out on the Let's Play front. And I would say that few people with any intention of buying a game would spoil the whole game's story on YouTube and not buy it. I'm watched large patches of games I never once considered buying before, won't buy now. Cause I was never interested in it, I was interested in either hearing the review/impressions/whatever for purely curiosity reasons or because I thought it would be funny to watch, even if I would hate to play. Games I intend to buy I don't watch nearly as much cause guess what? I don't want to spoil them.
