Since when has exclusivity been a boon for gamers?
I think they're upset that they'll have to compete with ps5 "influencers" for content that was once exclusive to them, or something stupid and modern age like that
Influencers and streamers make me feel old and out of touch.. the appeal is totally lost on me.
Some streamers are pretty good, I'll go through phases where I put some on in the background once in a while. They're rare though the vast majority I also don't understand.
Using them as background entertainment makes way more sense to me than the people closely watching/commening on them. I like to put things on YouTube while I do the dishes or something.
Totally random, but lately I've been watching Craigslist hunter when doing chores or eating something. It's like pawn stars but not scripted reality TV. See some neat stuff and it's oddly wholesome.
