To be fair, you probably get more enjoyment watching someone play Sea of Thieves as opposed to paying $60 to play it yourself.

Or too stubborn. Hubby refuses to buy Bloodborne since it's not on the PC and he can't justify a PS4.

When you don't have enough time to watch people play it on YouTube, so you content yourself with commenting on a meta Imgur post about it.
