I prefer to play, but I don't have time to dedicate to it. I can listen/watch a game stream while working, on the toilet, or doing chores around the house. I can only play in the evenings and weekends, and only when my kids are otherwise occupied or in bed.

Yeah, watching is worse than playing, but it's better than doing neither.
