This sentence is in every way the distillation of the worst possible argumentative sentence. I’m kind of in awe. Like, this sentence is something we might make up as a joke about how high schools teach students to write intro paragraphs. No person past the age of 19 would write this; even freshmen would know they were bullshitting for page length.

Apart from the delight experienced by a person who sees it, imo this is an outdated pre-streaming mentality.

The thing that 99% of people don’t see will be clipped and uploaded by the 1% who do, and then far more than the initial 1% will spread and discuss it. People who are passionate about your game experience it socially—they go on discords, reddit, watch third party videos, make content.

Almost nothing gets experienced by 1% of players, even if only 1% of players reach that in game.
