it is how you do it. you have choices. you have the personas to follow and the strictly "Just watch me play" people.was on mixer just for a little bit and the stream quality was pretty damn refreshing. ran so smooth consistently. But the streamer I was watching had no face cam, just playing the game. That's not how you do it. people follow entertaining online personas.
I've watched both and got my entertainment from both. I watch people play games I think about buying but will never buy because i will never play them thru and thru. especially games with a deep story line. its cool watching someone play thru that stuff and you just watch it. its like watching a new age movie or something. so it has its place.
