It is hard to know who the money should go to, sometimes.
I feel like the game developers should have a cut... And the streamer should have a cut. I feel like it would be fair to charge people (a little less than the cost of the actual game) for an entire let's play by a streamer (that can be viewed in the watcher's own time).
For me... It's as good as the Cricket. Or the Olympics. Which is to say that it's mostly a bunch of nothing going on. Really boring. Which makes.. Thesis writing start to feel more interesting... Reading that section of text start to feel more interesting... Having it on helps me get into my work. Yeah. Then, when something actually happens you can catch the replay (cricket) or simply wind things back a bit on the let's play.
I actually suspect that that's what most of the streamers are about... Something on in the background when they are working. Particularly helpful to help scaffold you into solitary work when you are having trouble facing the solitary.
I know most people prefer the live-stream thing so it is like they are actually hanging out with the person streaming while they are at work (at home coding, or whatever)... But I actually don't mind the whole watching the youtube... Years after... The time delay doesn't bother me, at all.
Huh.
