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

To answer directly

Asmongold is a guy that likes to do whatever he wants, but when he played XIV everything was XIV
Entering his comments? XIV
His Subreddit? Only XIV memes and stuff
When he wasn't playing? "Hey XIV when"

Think that was the main reason, XIV community can be as annoying as it can be, specially with MSQ, when people wait for a streamer to react to "that one scene" they're already overhyping the next one, and the next one, and so on
I don't really blame him for not wanting to continue despite being an overall good product
+ as an extra i think he complained about the amount of text?
Wich perse is not a problem but for a streamer having to read so much text was bothersome for him or some thing like that

I don't buy this take at all. I don't watch Asmongold frequently, but I've flipped through 8 hour streams of him playing Diablo IV endgame while actively hating on the game and his entire chat being confused about why he's even playing it. He still makes content about it right now. It's pretty blatantly obvious Blizzard locked him into something and he had to play it. He literally made videos about quitting it and then unironically kept playing (miserably) with zero explanation. The explanation is that Asmon, like many popular streamers, wants to be perceived as this individual who does whatever, when they are paid or otherwise supplemented by these companies and simply not disclosing it.

To go even further, this take that he quit due to comments is silly. So Asmon gives zero f's about everything and is such an individual, yet can't handle comments and reddit posts? That doesn't even make any sense. It sounds like you've been fooled by Asmon, to be quite honest.

The reason why your theory makes no sense, citizen, is because Twitch requires streamers to disclose when they're being endorsed by another company. https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/bra...language=en_US

Also your theory suggests that Asmon was being paid by Blizzard to bash a game that was... made by Blizzard.

People always say this but there are ways around it and streamers don't disclose all the time. There's literally been studies on it.

And yes, Asmon's contracts allow him to criticize the games.
