Watching games is becoming more and more popular. We arn't talking about watching games whilst you have your men of war loaded up. We are talking about webcasts.
Plenty of people like to relax to a game being played rather than play it themself. Plenty of people enjoy watching others play to learn how to play better themself or to generate new ideas. A lot of people like to check out a game being played before they buy it. If you can't see the point in "Observers" in games then welcome to gaming I guess your new to it =p
It should be fairly standard practice to put observers into RTS games because without it, it makes tournaments very hard to do and most importantly the tournoment only matters to those who participate in it as no outside players will be involved (Since no one can watch).
