He probably haven't even got the game yet, calm down.

Don't expect it happen today or tomorrow.

From what the various apparent fanboys of his on the forums say, he wouldn't have touched Crystal with a ten foot pole.

We need an overblown trailer with the movie trailer guy reading this narration.

Our queues are big enough as they are yeah lol. It’ll be interesting to see how he deals with Primal people though...

Primal isn’t a bad datacenter. I’ve been on all three datacenters over the years and Primal can be a nice balance between the tryhards on Aether and the Forbidden of Crystal.

Being the middle child of the NA datacenters it often skips under the radar, but perhaps that era will draw to a close— at least for a bit.

It doesn't matter if all he's doing is playing video games at home. If he's making tons of money out of it, then he's different from the millions that are not even able to make 1% of what he makes. If he's not special, then everyone else should be able to do what he does easily. Don't let your jealousy blind you.

Saying a guy isn't special and not making a big deal out of SE tweeting him = Im jealous.
Its wild how much you want me to worship the guy. He's just a gamer, he's just playing a videogame.
No matter what you throw at me, its a simple fact, that he's nothing Special. I never even mentioned how much money he makes, you did.

Not a hard concept.

I...genuinely don't wanna keep this dumpster fire of a thread running, but I'll give my .02 on this whole affair. After watching a bit of Asmongold's stuff and his OG account--he's not the problem. "Asmongold" is a character he plays and a parody of the type of neckbeards that play WoW. It just so happens that a lot of Twitch apes found that character relatable and end up subbing to his content, ironically enough.

ZackRawrr, who he actually is, is a softspoken, eloquent, and down-to-earth individual. He's actually a cool dude.

That said, I will say I'm worried about the selfsame Twitch apes that might follow him around ingame on whatever server he settles in and potentially ruin the game for everyone else. They'll eventually either be banned from ever playing again or get bored, throw a tantrum, and then leave. I'll also say I'm pretty disappointed in all the damn gatekeeping I'm seeing in this thread as all this purity checking is making my brain hurt. Unironically GCBTW.
