Placting

- To play a video game performatively; to impress the viewing audience rather than to play for the genuine joy of the video game itself.
- A combination of the verbs 'play' and 'act'

The video game looks great when a streamer is placting; walking slowly and making dramatic camera turns, but otherwise, the gameplay clearly lacks immersion, drama, and polish.
