A video game’s marketability through an online broadcasting platform such as Twitch is an interesting facet to mass entertainment and I think any viewership of an otherwise unknown video game can only be beneficial in sales; however, when only a select few games rise to the peak of popularity in live-streaming, not many other games are being exposed.

It’s excellent how video games can mirror the thematic emphases that cinematic films produce, but are capable of adding a functional layer of interactivity and expeditionary adventure as a player rather than a passive viewer.

This is fantastic—I think the connection between Tolkien’s work and role-playing games in general is fascinating and demonstrative of great works of fiction, whether in novels or interactive entertainment.
