Why did Asmongold stop playing FF14 if FF14 is so good with a good community?

Asmongold imo operates on undisclosed paid influencer deals but pretends he doesn't because it is a schtick for his dumb audience.

To expound, I'm saying that if he isn't getting paid he likely isn't playing that game. If he likes the game and it has sufficient audience reception then he will keep playing after whatever influencer deal he has expires. So in the case of XIV either he doesn't like the game or his audience is a problem (I'm guessing the latter).

I wonder if CBU3 paid Asmongold to play FF14, and he didn't actually like it and quit the first moment he could

Tons of streamers were playing all around the time Asmon did. It was a huge PR blitz for EW. And it worked BTW-- but all those streamers went right back to Dragonflight and Diablo IV at the same times. They're just promo hoppers.

I think Asmon liked the game but his audience didn't and trolled him into stopping. Plus I think other lucrative deals were upcoming so he could afford to drop it. So it's both.

And yes he said the community is crazy blah blah blah...again don't be naive. Yes, the trolling is a factor but ultimately money talks.
