@futurebird Admittedly I've been into lets plays for a while (like a decade + ago I was a something awful member and experienced a lot of of them through that), and while it's not true of like, every Let's Play, I've totally seen ones that convinced other people to play the game.
Of course if it's like the original Dangan Ronpa LP, you uh... couldn't go through the game yourself at the time, unless you knew Japanese. I know at some point there was a translation patch before the game released in the west, but I don't remember when it came out, I think a while after the Let's Play started.
It's one of those things that frustrates me about games that have Streaming Prohibitions, because okay I get if your plot hinges on a twist or something you might feel no one will play the game if they know the twist (from an LP I mean) but... lots of people reread mysteries even though they know who did it, you know? Like I DO genuinely feel a good chunk of the time LPs cause other people to play the games themselves.
Sorry, nerding out
