Playing the game was what was draining?

[Buttons840]

Yes, normally I would play for 30 mins and then do something else. It was Outer Wilds though, a mystery / puzzle game similar to Myst and so the problem solving made it more tiring and more tempting to take breaks.

Streaming games live is a job that people burn out doing, it is very draining.

[winternett]

That's because it really doesn't pay to do so... Even though a lot of streamers act like they're making money, they're really not getting paid much.

The act of performing in front of others was probably the draining part.

But also, yeah. If you need someone to watch you do X so you can enjoy X, maybe you don't like X all that much in the first place.

[dawatchusay]

Yeah, wow
