Yea, that's one game that's more fun to watch than play I will admit, so mostly I'm a "pro rust watcher with over 300 hours watching rust" (this is a bit of an in-joke, sorry) who sees the annoyance and lack of fun people have when they get destroyed by cheaters. I did play one wipe, and spent 25 hours over 3 days in the game, so I chose to quit right there instead of doing that on a regular basis.

Oh for sure, and even now I occasionally watch videos as background noise during work - but it's just not a fun game for the vast majority of times I log in. I'm about 175 hours in now; and for the one time a month I play, I can't be assed joining anything besides a 3x anymore with a wipe at least 10 days away, it's just too much sunk cost and wasted time even getting a 2x1 down in official or vanilla servers.

It's fun when I get something down (and fully use a starter kit, if a server has it) and have neighbors to dick around with, or there's not enough traffic to actually enjoy landmarks and underground, or occasionally when I meet someone that's down to team up or just talk on mic while pacing around one of our bases. But when that doesn't happen, I'm just not having fun haha

I am a casual watcher of Willjum' Rust single and cooperative plays whenever it rarely pops into my YT feed.

It's almost a meme in Willjum's comments that people watch Willjum's channel but don't play Rust!

I am also a WJ watcher.
