  2. In Mike Mearls "Happy Fun Hour" Twitch show yesterday, he clarified they were talking about watching streaming games. You just don't have time to explain all that in a two minute interview on a bunch of other topics. He went on to say they might someday do that in a video game format, but it wouldn't have anything to do with the tabletop game's production. I think it was about 20-ish minutes in when he talked about it.
