@Tharthan: I was following the definition at let's play; is it inaccurate? J3133 (talk) 05:29, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- No. Note that our definition says "a video recording or comparable broadcast".
- That covers the other forms of Let's Play that exist.
- In case you are unfamiliar, here is an example of a screenshot LP. It's from 2006, from Slowbeef (who Wikipedia notes "is credited [with] [...] [creating] [t]he format of Let's Plays", and in addition to that is also credited with putting out one of the earliest examples of a video LP. He started out an LP of the Sega Genesis game "The Immortal" in 2007 as just another screenshot LP, but then a little ways in he began to incorporate videos into the playthrough, and it ultimately transitioned to a video LP.)
- Although the example of a screenshot LP that I provided you is from 2006, the concept is far from obsolete. Here is an example of a screenshot LP that ended just back in April of this year. Tharthan (talk) 19:31, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
