My BFF used to just watch me play rather than play, and for years the man would insist that he was getting the same thing out of it. He'd be right beside me, after all, and we'd chat about strategy, to which he'd contribute. I was honestly pretty sure that he'd change his mind if he ever started playing.

Lo and behold: I was completely correct. I finally did get him to start gaming and he admitted that, yeah, it was completely different being in the driver's seat. Getting the feel of the mechanics, being the one making choices. I noticed back when he wasn't playing, when we'd pick characters to RP, I'd usually choose the player characters and he'd be more interested in the NPCs - the more tangential the better. Because I was playing, and I'd "become" the PC, I'd empathize with them more while he was paying more objective attention to the whole story. When he started playing himself, that changed completely.

So yeah, no non-player is ever going to realize it until they start playing for themselves, obviously, but it's really not the same. At all. Not saying it's not fun or ordering them to get out of fandom, but it's just not.
