I honestly don’t see how the average working class adult find that time. I feel like gaming is a luxury for rich/middle-class teens.

    My boomer trait: I cannot stand that kids would rather watch someone else play a game than just play it (unless its some $80 game theu cant afford). HOWEVER I realize, it is actually a great need for them to socialize with people they like and imagine they have friends. So it’s really sad, but I get it.

      Yeah that’s how I feel. It’s one thing if it’s just filling a void, but these streamers eventually end up exploiting these kids, so I’ll be relieved if she never gets the appeal of watching streamers.
