I think you are seeing more of it for multiple reason.

1. Butterfinger literally paid Twitch streamers to sponsor FF14
2. I think Square Enix reached out to others to have them plan. Annie Fuschia for example is doing the MSQ and playing even after her sponsor time was over
3. You see Asmongold a lot because he keep pretending like their is a chance he will actually play when anyone who knows the guy realizes that will never happen.
4. WoW is going through a content drought right now that makes previous ones look good. It is really bad how much they are having to redesign core systems that are just busted.
