For me I tend to knee-jerk think someone is a "fake fan" when it's people who say they're fans of a game when they've never actually played it, just read the wiki or watched an LP.

There's a lot to Assassin's Creed, TES, Minecraft, etc. that just doesn't come across in a youtube video or on a wiki page. There's quests that an LPer might skip that give critical context. There's in-game codex entries or books or info-dumps that you miss out on. There's the visceral feeling that some games have (vertigo, or heart-pounding action, or frustration at a puzzle or difficult boss).

I watch a lot of LPs. I've even watched LPs of games that I didn't play until after the LP was over. I love LPs and wiki pages and what-not. But it's not even close to the same experience and it's irritating when people pretend it is. It's like reading the IMDb about a movie and then saying it's your fav or something.

I wouldn't say it's like reading the IMDb of a movie and then saying it's your fav. LP's are a lot more like playing then that, but on the other, even *less* thorough.

I'd say it's more like...watching half the episodes of a show but skipping over several key arcs and gleaning your knowledge of the arcs you skipped from the "previously on..." segments that come before each episode, and then claiming that you're able to discuss the show as a whole just as well as people who have seen the whole show.

For me, LPs or watching friends play are the only way I can experience certain games. I have really terrible hand-eye coordination and some additional visual problems that make gameplay difficult. I get that it's not the same, but I'm glad there's a way for me to enjoy games that, if I tried to play them myself, I would never get out of the first room, let alone enjoy all the twists and turns and easter eggs and scary/exciting moments.
