...Oh... Well... I do that a lot. It used to be because I didn't have the money to buy the system the game was for, then it was because I had no interest in the game play mechanics but did want to see the story, and sometimes it's because I want to see if the game is any good. I only bought Pokemon Moon after watching some people play it; otherwise I STILL wouldn't own it.
I don't pretend that I played the game myself, though. I outright said that I watch people play The Walking Dead games. I honest to god could not have gotten through the second game myself. I looked away when Clem had to stitch up her own arm; I would have gotten sick if I'd had to do that myself and watch the whole sequence.
