That's funny because I happened to see some of that video myself earlier today. Asmon really sounded like he was doing some sort of paid promotion, like totally unnatural for his character. If you go back and look at his videos he was skeptical about games filling up with micros and then did a complete 180 on his opinion. Not sayin he's a sellout, but yeah he's a sellout. His opinion doesn't mean anything anymore. In general streamers can't really be trusted because there are hidden endorsements for new games. The biggest method of advertising now that only boomers watch cable tv, is streamers themselves. They also want to use it as an avenue of future content so real opinions are difficult to come by. They're too worried about backlash from developers and being put on a list of content creators that don't get early access to things for review.
He's the same guy who criticizes wow every patch, yet buys every expansion. He has no conviction in his own words.
Everytime I criticized their content, I stopped paying for expansions or the follow-up purchase. People don't have the willpower to stay away from their addictions though.
Out of character? He was the biggest advocate against store bought mounts in WoW and he's since then said repeatedly "it was a slippy slope, I told you so".
It's kind of his brand to use his money to expose all micros now, so idk where you are getting this "180 on his opinion" thing from.
Idk what country you're from but in America it's illegal to endorse something and not disclose that you're a sponsor, check the FTC guidelines.
Asmongold is already a multi-millionaire with his own Org even, why would he risk it?
