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

[Ivtrix]

he stopped playing because no matter what else he was doing people bugged him to continue playing xiv

the community lives to harass streamers into playing the msq so they can relive vicariously since you will never experience the same emotions of going thru it the first time again and once the streamer has finished the msq they toss em in the trash and move onto the next streamer playing through the msq

All I can say is ... Parasocial is weird, and it get weirder.

parasocial relationships are weird but it makes sense why people gravitate towards it, in a world increasingly online it was kind of inevitable

Come to think about it this behavior isn't exactly news. Obsessive fans have been a thing in the pop culture for a long time with idols and celebrities. Streamers in a way is just a new type, internet celebrity, so it's understandable they attract similar crow. The difference is, the old IRL obsessive fans had to spend the time and effort to track down, stalk, then harras their subject of affection and maybe get a restrained order sic on them. Whether just like with everything else in the internet age, they just have to log in and be obsessive from the comfort of their chair.

In this case I think it's also a double whammy for parasocial people. So they like the game, and they like these streamers, so they want the streamers to like the game too just like them, then throw a fit when it doesn't work out. Kinda remind me of people playing match maker in their own wedding. The bride/groom has this brilliant idea of playing match maker between their 2 friends with the bridemaids and groommen because they just look so good together so it'll definitely work out, right? Then things get ackward because they insist on being pushy and not taking the hint things not panning out, then destroy their own special day and of course proceed on blaming everyone else.

Shout out to that one streamer who realized this and stalled so hard that people got sick of him and dropped his stream and then he also got accused of sexual assault or something.

Yeah, that's Rich Campbell alright. He was actually a decent streamer from what I remember up until the sexual assault accusation was made against him. He had everything going for him and he threw it all away, lol.

Citizen, you should've seen the video circulating online at the time of when he was first accused. He was streaming with a friend when he received the news.

Dude, I saw that video. It was the strangest thing to watch him go from streaming normally with his friend to looking at his phone with a stunned look on his face.
