The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

[WoW]

It always makes me laugh when I read the typical "WhO cArEs!!" response. It only makes you look stupid because you're trying to pretend that the size of his viewers isn't significant. Yet, SE welcomes him with open arms!! So obviously they care rofl!

This game is already big without him, its been kicking and lighting a fire under WoW and the MMORPG scene long before Asmond decided to try it.
There are tons of other WoW streamers who have already been playing this game, So AsmondGold coming in really is nothing special. He's a big streamer...neat....he's still nothing special. What humors me the most about all of this, is the amount of worship surrounding this guy, and that people treat this like its such a big deal.
Even Asmond is like "Guys its just a Game"

No one said the game isn't big. And I don't see SE welcoming other WoW streamers. Just because people like him, doesn't mean they worship him. All I see is some here are jealous of him and are trying convince themselves and others that he's nothing special.

Why does SE need to welcome WoW streamers? Not like they are any more Special then a Wildstar or ESO player.
And people more then like Asmond, the fact you think people are 'trying convince themselves and others that he's nothing special.' tells me you think he is.
And he's not...he's a guy that plays games and talks about things like....I dont even know how many other people.

My point flew so high above you, it reached floor 100 of HoH. The point was that Asmongold is special and his name does have a weight that SE would respond to his tweet. Other streamers don't come close to him, hence why SE won't bother welcoming them. If he wasn't anyone special as you all are trying to convince yourselves, then why did SE welcome him?

They don't need do anything but fact is Asmond to my knowledge is only WoW streamer that got their attention (though let be fair, it's a cheap PR move on SE end). Also Wildstar? Lol

Hey, that article everyone waves around showing that FFXIV surpassed WoW said Wildstar also had 20k active players! Show some respect to the old guard! /s


SE reaching out to Asmon was an easy PR move. It worked, since it got people talking about it.

I dont need to convince myself he is nothing special...he simply isn't. For some reason you think he is, and you want to convince me because he got tweeted at? lol

They dont need Asmondgold for PR. If anything its a good meme that Asmond made it clear that he wasn't interested in FFXIV, but not he's suddenly willing to try it. So...lol Welcome Asmond.
Wildstar is just to name a game. I could have said Blackdesert, Runescape, FNAF or Outerworlds and it would have the same effect; the point is you play games, and it doesn't matter what kind of game you play.

He's a dude that streams and enjoys playing video games, what a big deal. Besides, he himself has already asked to pretty much be left to enjoy the game without any drama or unpleasantries; "It's just a game"

People don't need to convince themselves of anything, especially whether he is or isn't anything special. People be out here acting as if it's the apocalypse, or as if a singularity is going to occur because he's decided to try out a video game.

I don't really relate to Asmongold, his viewers or his streaming content. The fact that he is trying FFXIV coming from WoW I am indifferent to. I hope he gives the game a fair shot, with a clear mind and not to critique the game for viewers rating, but evaluates it for what it is to many, a great video game to add to one's collection. At the same time I hope the FFXIV players gives Asmongold a fair shot as well before flying off the deep end and judging him before he's even started. Jealousy doesn't even come into play.
