Why is it so much more amusing to watch someone play a video game than it is to play the game itself? (kbin.social)

I'm old now. I've finally realised I get more enjoyment from watching someone play than to actually play the game. Why is that? Do you experience that as well?

Honestly, even though I really enjoy gaming, it can still be tiring. Having to come up with strategies or execute some maneuver or even just piecing together a plot takes up brainpower that I don't always have. Watching someone else play a game lets me enjoy the game without having to invest energy into it.
