Lower Decks, per usual, had the best take on this trope.

in the in-universe parody show “Wormhole X-treme”

That whole episode was such a gift.

a lot of devs love watching stuff like speedrunning

True, but some of them hate it. But with the growing presence of speedrunning friendly features in new titles (looking at you, Supergiant), I think that’s becoming less of a problem.

Either way, these “devs watch” reaction videos are fantastic.
