so revolutionary and brave; adding a spectating feature that's been in games for 20 years
Was just going to say that I remember this being a feature in pre-1.0 Counter-Strike in the beginning of the 2000s.
in csgo one was able to watch almost anybody playing. Waiting for your friends to finish their match? Just watch without any hassle. Want to spectate one of your random friends? Sure. Sadly the feature has been completely absent since the publishing of cs2.
