Games are stories, things to explore, played by people who add their own commentary to it. That's interesting to me. Do you think an adventure movie is boring because you're merely watching a person going on an adventure, rather than doing it yourself?

Other games are competitive and require skill, and the way people play them, the tactics and strategies used, and the commentary, that's also interesting to me. Do you think sports (from a 'sport' like poker, to say football) are boring? Or say coding challenges?

I can get behind the idea that you prefer to play yourself, but can you not imagine (any reasons) that also watching games be played to many is not like watching paint dry, at all?
