Question
Why are so many gaming videos' titles on Youtube prefaced by a "Let's Play"? Is some official company or entity sponsoring each video, that these users are working for? Is each video submitted to a weekly contest or something like that? Or is just a collective meme for gamers on Youtube?
Answer
Supposedly it started at Something Awful, where people would play games and put their own humorous commentary over it. Since then, it's expanded and expanded, but the whole idea is just the style
There's even a website devoted to Let's Play content, the Let's Play Archive, head over there or read their About section for more info. TVTropes also has an entry on it.
