Been joining some streams and asking around about OSRS recently

In your opinion, what is the magic quality that makes this game popular enough to be the 3rd most popular MMO on twitch?

What's the draw that keeps players from moving to other games?

You never truly quit OSRS.

Personalities of streamers. I can watch some csgo streamers for example but ill be bored as fuck if they are as entertaining as a bag of rocks, but people like boaty/sick nerd are way the fuck more entertaining even though scape is a shitty game to watch.

People are addicted and sunk cost fallacy

This.
The game could be the most amazing thing, or the most boring fucking thing ever.
However, the person playing the game will have the biggest impact.

I'd rather watch some funny ass silvers in CS:GO as opposed to dry and boring pro games.

Then again, I don't watch streams. I just watch random clips.
Random game clip of some person showing off their skill? Skip.
Random game clip with some funny commentary? Hey, look at this. Shared.

Played the game the first time I was around 11-12, had huge breaks in between but still somehow end up playing it again.

The grind truly never ends, such is life in rs.
