I don't understand how you don't understand this. Maybe someone sucks at video games? Maybe they want to be in the fandom of a video games that's outside their genre (say, horror or fps or something). if they watch the LP and the person playing goes through the whole storyline, I don't see why the person watching shouldn't be in the fandom if they enjoyed the LP!

I mean, they certainly shouldn't be calling themselves gamers, but writing fic or drawing art or squeeing over characters or ships? Yeah, I don't see the problem.

As a white male 18-35, this is where I have authority

Yeah, I think it's fine to say your in the fandom if you've seen the source material. It's best if you play it, but that's the gamer in me. I'm only going to say people who saw none of it are the ones who aren't true fans.

You watched the LP, you have put in effort by god

(Anonymous) 2013-02-23 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Or they're interested in an older game that hasn't been ported to Steam/PSN/XBLA/VC and therefore really expensive and hard to find.

oh my god just shut up

(Anonymous) 2013-02-24 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
except, yanno, it's true.

you're just butt hurt that no one else will go to the extreme level you do for your gamer cred.

afraid it's going to devalue over time? turn the neighborhood to shit?

(Anonymous) 2013-02-24 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Like, okay wow

His point was that there are OPTIONS to find the older games.

Really, really easily-found and easily-worked options.

You sound like you've been beaten up by gamers and are holding a grudge. Calm down.

(Anonymous) 2013-02-24 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Still doesn't help them if the game's out of print and they can't find it anywhere but as illegal downloads.

If you stole the source material THEN you don't deserve to join the fandom.

(Anonymous) 2013-02-23 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, seems fair

(Anonymous) 2013-02-23 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't call YOURSELF a gamer, fuckbat. Being in ONE fandom I can't beat doesn't mean I don't count.

lolwhat? I meant if someone only watches LPs and plays no games, they shouldn't call themselves a gamer. I don't play horror or many fps games, which is why I used those examples. I can see how you might have mistaken me though, since I jumbled them up.

BUT WAY TO BE AUTOMATICALLY DEFENSIVE. I'm sorry I shook your world view by accidentally implying you weren't a gamer. :'D
