There's a big difference between streaming a gameplay-driven game vs a story-driven game. I know way too many people who have been choosing not to buy story-driven games because they can "just stream it to watch the story for free". It's damaging to the industry. To me it's in the same category as pirating a movie or a show and completely in the right of the publisher to choose not to allow it to the best of their abilities.

Then they're stupid. Even a completely story-driven game is a very different experience when you watch it instead of playing it. Let's take for example beyond. There's no fucking way I'd settle for just watching a youtube video instead of actually playing it because there's literally zero immersion. And that's the whole point of the game - to make it interactive.

Yeah sure you can still play it after watching everything on youtube, but that's where it ends. you're  just copying what you saw, your first time experience is gone because you watched a streamer. Nothing is fresh, you know where all the traps and deadends are.
