My 12 year old niece watches people play Minecraft pretty much all day, even though she has the game herself. My 14 year old nephew does the same watching others play one of those Black ops or COD games. And when his dad thinking he only watched the videos because he didn't own the game himself. So when his dad bought it for him for his birthday, he didn't care and still continues to watch videos instead of playing it himself. I tried asking them but they just shrug their shoulders and say I don't know. Are kids today so lazy that even playing video games is a chore? And another thing tuchhat bothers me is most of those youtube commentators are so foul mouthed and immature. One of the youtube channels that my niece was watching with a girl playing minecraft, also has another video about how she sells her dirty panties online to older men. Why can't these youtube celebrities have a little more class when they have a younger audience watching their videos.
Why do some kids only watch videos of others playing video games on Youtube?
Easier than playing.
He or she is probably looking for a way to get better at the game like watch tutorials and such. And I don't know about the youtubers saying dirty stuff, you can put it on safemode youtube
Years back… When you wanted some tips and tricks about a game you went to the game forum… You looked up the info… Now-w-w-w sorry to say it is easier to look up a youtube video…
Years back if you were stuck on a level, could not beat the boss… You went to the game forum… You picked up tips / cheats…
As for the youtube kiddies that have other videos aside from a game video and what they present… Well-l-l-l-l… Not to much you can do there
They might just want action to watch. I was gaming videos as entertainment and a way to get better at games, but I still play a lot more than I watch. They are probably just there for the jokes and WOW moments. When they run out of content (sounds like soon), they will play by themselves.
I watch them. Its not the game your wacthing its the commentary. Some players talk through the game and most are funny. Its the person playing the game you watch. Not the game. And also some people watch people play the game beacuse they are stuck on their game. Odnt be alarmed it just a video game thing. Its like a show.
