I really dont understand streaming. Why would i want to watch someone else play videogames instead of just play them myself?

Its not always about what they are doing but whos doing it. Also cost of the game is a factor, skills, other stuff. Finding out if a game looks fun before buying.

I dont play video games while i eat but i would watch someone play while i eat.

I don't watch livestreams though but i watch plenty of people play videogames on YouTube.

I can't play dark souls - I'm just not good at it - but I find the lore fascinating and the gameplay fun to watch when done by someone with some skill (i.e. more than me). Watching someone I like the style of stream dark souls is my way of experiencing a game that is otherwise out of reach for me.
