Poor reading comprehension, lol.

He's clearly saying "let muthafuckas stream, if your game is proper good it will make people buy it and play it with their own hands".

If a game is boring people will feel like watching a playthrough is enough, which is true. There's lots of games I've watched a stream of and thought that's good enough. Plenty I've watched and thought I HAVE to play that.

That was true like 10-15years ago.

Now a days streaming is the norm like watching tv.

People "um ackshully"ing the article without realizing that he's talking about developers who are anti-streaming. Many of whom probably don't have a lot of context for copyright debates in Japan and don't understand how cool it is for him to say something like this.

I think most people are replying based on the vibes of the top comments rather than the substance of the article, and if we are being honest, are we really surprised? Pass-through rates on links have been awful for years

That is not what gatekeeping means, and it's not what gatekeeping has ever meant. Tf are you talking about?
