I've expressed before my distaste for people watching a video essay on a game instead of playing it (only if they see that as a valid replacement for playing it, or try to speak on it with authority, the action of watching a video on a game you dont intend to play isn't bad inherently) but I have more mixed feelings about lets plays/long plays. I'm not entirely sure where they would fall, and while obviously not as good as playing it... I'm not sure. On one hand, I can see the argument that it's similar to an audiobook, a form of media im a big supporter of, but unlike an audio book you're loosing a massive part of the experience with a game (the... game bit). Idk. This was a lot of words to not say that much, but that's kind of my brand, so whatever.
