I find meaning in work because it's what I leave behind once I'm dead. What I create, build, and put out into the world is part of my legacy. That's pretty important to me, perhaps not the same for others.
I've never thought to do this but the methodology does make sense. I've been studying Japanese for about a month and while reading through various textbooks I'll run into so many examples of miscellaneous grammar notes which I never thought to write down. Partially because of apathy while also convincing myself that I'll remember it all and don't need to bother taking notes.
But I wonder if results would differ between taking notes digitally vs physically hand-writing with pen and paper.
This was such a solid analysis through-and-through. I feel that so many companies are getting real antsy and feel the need to grab for complete 100% ownership over all creative rights for everything with no leeway whatsoever. We, the people who actually pay for & consume these games, have no right to redesign or modify or record or promote anything without their consent - which would probably be denied most of the time anyways. From my point of view, it's just very difficult to continue supporting the video game industry anymore.

Don't judge an industry by it's rotting old guard. Nintendo has been making blunder after blunder for quite some time and does not represent gaming as a whole.
Reddit has helped built a list[1] of studios and publishers who have given permissions for LPers to make videos, and the list is pretty comprehensive. Tons of developers and companies are 100% okay with and even promote it.
Also, with both next gen consoles supporting game play video natively, it's going to get bigger and bigger in the industry.
Always sucks to lose a pioneer.
