What part of that 39% who wouldn't buy a game after watching a stream of it decided the game just wasn't for them and would have returned it after trying it out?

I'm with Will. Games have different values of where the "fun" is. A game that's pours a lot into unraveling the narrative is in a different extreme from the games where it's all about the action itself.
