People spend more on videogame discourse than actually playing them

"Playing Research: Methodological
approaches to game analysis" by (E. Aarseth, 2004, ISBN: 87-990066-1-8 )
According to persona fans you can only be a fan of a game if you have played it yourself

These are games. Not movies. I’m going to hold this person in the same contempt as I would someone who read a wikipedia summary of a work
if a person likes a game for their story, lore, characters, etc enough to call themselves a fan of it, then that's the end of the conversation. shouldn't you be happy that your game is good enough that even people who can't play it can become fans of it just by watching?

The “you can be a fan of a game without playing it” argument reminds me that people don’t see games as art. It’s a medium built around personal engagement, that's what gameplay is, it’s what makes games what they are. Is it really that hard to acknowledge and respect that?

Notice how it’s all shit like FNAF. UTDR. Persona. It’s never something really niche. This is because people have this weird entitlement to a place in the “fandom” and care more about that then the work
everyone's so occupied with wanting to be labeled as fans of something theyre justifying not engaging with art

“watching a game” discourse again… this would all be eliminated if people didn’t put “story” at a pedestal above all else and instead also viewed gameplay as essential to the storytelling

I once again reiterate that 9/10 times this is not a financial issue lmao
Most people wanting to be recognized for watching youtube vids are middle class with at least a phone and pc
we love the classism from the "didnt play the game then youre a larper" crowd when the answer for this whole debate is, if you know the story, the characters and the characterisations and you like it then youre a fan but youre not allowed to comment on gameplay

Persona pfp is the cherry on top bro 😭
i dont get why people care so much if someone watches a playthrough of a game when its a story focused game like literally who gives a fuck

i like how we have to hyperfocus on this theoretical scenario when in actuality in a majority of cases it's just braindead fandomites who watch videos not out of economic necessity but because they find it easier than pirating a game and playing it
NS but why is this mindset kind awf classist, if you're from a third-world country the best device you could have as a kid was only a phone.
Com shops only had mainstream games and the only way you could access games like FNAF, Undertale, Minecraft, etc. was through YouTube

if there is really some kid who has a phone, functional internet, the free time to watch youtube and chat on social media, but literally nothing else, in a third world country, then sure, my sympathies to them, but we have to realize this is not the majority of cases

Most of the people engaging in this discourse are middle class who probably have at least a laptop because constant social media access is a low-end luxury lmao

You watch movies, you read books, you play games. How hard is it to understand not engaging with the medium you call yourself a fan of is considered larp

Nobody would say this about any other medium. This hobby is infested with people who like the idea of video games but not actually engaging with them
