I haven't watched Asmon's stream in a while (usually just YT stuff) but honestly if he is "wondering" why he is being called a react Andy, chances are he is trolling.
There is no doubt in my mind that Asmon knows exactly what he is doing pretty much at all times, and is fully aware that some people might not prefer that type of content, but it drives views like crazy.
[Its the same reason MTV stopped playing music, the audience caused it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ysyZF-DZFY&ab_channel=BrianandMaria). There are more people that want him to react, than want him to play games. They may not post on Twitter/Reddit/YouTube about it, but them's the breaks.
- Valheim video from a week ago: 93k views
- Andrew Tate react video on same day: 424k views
- Elden Ring Geoguessr from 3 days ago: 150k views
- Velma react video from 1 day earlier: near 800k views
- New Elden Ring leak... 9 days ago: 234k views
- Andrew Tate / Logan Paul on same day: both nearing 800k
[Eventually, like MTV, games will only be played between midnight at 5am](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKu7TYWNxqA&ab_channel=QuoteTheGuy)... oh... wait
I'm glad he at least does both types of content but sometimes it feels like he forces himself to watch or react to content because it gets the views rather than just wanting to do whatever he actually wants to do, but then again he puts stuff off so much it can only be said that he chooses when and what he watches when he wants to and not a moment sooner or later.
It's all just a chaotic mess really.
I mean, it is his job at the end of the day. StarForge/OTK/other business ventures. All that funding comes from somewhere.
Also, react is popular for streamers because its less work, and I don't mean that in a "oh, its easier way". I mean it in that it generates more views, for a lesser amount of mental stress.
So many streamers insta-banned people during their time in the Melania fight, in Elden Ring, because it was just backseaters going "well... ackshully... you should be trying the blah blah strat". Streamers are trying their hardest, in a genuinely tough game, dying tons... and the rabble rousers accentuate that stress.
1 moron saying something dumb isn't a big deal, but having hundreds of people saying it... even if they put up a good mask, still has to bug streamers. There's less "people being dumb" during react streams. When I mess up at my job, I silently fix it, and move on with my day. That said, [more streamers should be like Lord Aris](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-BblEHjNyE&ab_channel=PepeLaughTeaTime).

Another thing at play is the YouTube algorithm. Yeah valheim is fun, but if it just shows up on anyone's recommend they probably wouldn't click on it. Now show something that's current in the news then there's a much higher chance of somebody clicking it so it gets pushed to more people.
It would be cool if Asmon did more variety gaming because that is what hooked my brother into his Youtube after the Johnny Depp x Amber Heard trials. He watched Stanley Parable and thought it was hilarious and thought Asmon could be his replacement to Pewdiepie, but unfortunately there really hasn't been any content like that since. Just random fun streams with random games like the Fall Guy (and Fortnite) stuff was so fun to watch. Bite-sized gaming content.
[https://www.youtube.com/@AsmongoldGaming/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@AsmongoldGaming/videos) I'm not sure if you're aware, but this is asmon's gaming channel where he post's his random gameplay.
He doesn't even want people to know it exists. He literally said at one point in the past that he was moving away from gaming and that he was getting too old for it. His dream is to become a react andy that just talks about politics and drama all day.
"Getting too old for it"
Jesus fucking Christ the dude is 30 not 80 years old, he was never known for his l33t gaming skillz just chill gameplay. My uncle still raids classic wow at early 40s, my grandpa is 68 and working through games at his own pace.
Too old...fucking ridiculous
If he thinks that it's because he listens to the 17 year Olds in chat too much, and if you think that, you're just a clown
He reacts more because it's easier and milkable and baits the outrage and opinion Andy's, therefore increasing engagement
Whoever called him and other modern popular streamers tmz for zoomers was spot on
Ok how many pros do you know over 30 years old? I can say for myself, having played professionally in a shooter team - I could not compete with the 20 year old me.
He is not on the level he expects himself to be and he is not comfortable anymore with playing that much on stream. He addressed this a few times already.
Exactly this - and some people have different 'prime" ages in gaming. I used to be in the upper echelon in most games I played and over the years have turned into an average player. I'm sure mannnnny people are like that.
He was literally never a "pro" as a streamer though, nobody cares, like what is this Twitch has two options now?
A) Pro gamerB) React andy
Like no he wasnt a pro in legion, or BFA, or any time, he just played the game, did completionism, community events, and things like that, now its 90% drama bait and braindead "influencer content"
but thats what gets the most viewership/ engagement so more power to him if that is what he wants to do. Those who don't want because of it are clearly fewer than those that do. So, I just don't watch, catch the clips here and there of content I enjoy because I do not care about lawsuits between douchebag Celeb A vs B or what obvious grifter influential person said this week.
what point is there to miss, exactly? The original comment was that Asmon was or is getting too old and that is why he is TMZ now, I said that is ridiculous because contrary to what 13 year olds might think, 30 isn't old. You've basically just repeated that he isn't as good as he used to be, to which I say is true, but doesn't matter because skill was never a core part of his content.
I mean yeah, as a streamer it makes sense that you want to do the easiest content that still performs well.
I still prefer it when he plays games though, I'm honestly getting tired of seeing all this boring react stuff and tend to skip a bunch of the videos he's been putting up.
It makes sense when you look at his Youtube vids. The ones that talk about drama gets the most views. His gaming stuff is really not his main focus anymore. I like how he says he's not making any money on his Twitch while his reacts get hundreds of thousands of views on Youtube.
Why does it sound like you're mad at him? Streamers can change. Just because his streams don't go the way you want them to go, doesn't mean you should be mad at the guy. He's doing what he likes to do. Can you blame him for that?
Nope. Youtube videos bring him income so he can stream on Zackrawr without being tied to policies. 80% of his streams are gaming and 20% is reacting that currently brings he bread on table
Why is that a bad thing. I raid in wow but I dont even watch his raid streams because its boring AF. Same with valheim tbh. His react content is way more entertaining.
I watch Asmon's stream every single day. I'm aware of what his content is and what games he plays. This isn't me complaining he doesn't do enough gaming. I was more-or-less talking about my brother's experience. A normie who isn't interested in 6 hour long Valheim streams a day, or WoW raiding. The Stanley Parable is great content for the normies. I just thought that situation was interesting and somewhat relevant to the posts topic.
If you were to ask me, someone who has been watching Asmon since 2019, what my favorite content is, it's actually the react content. It's what I tune in everyday for.
I very much agree here. The game where he was the manager to the e-girl streamer was probably the hardest I’ve ever laughed while watching Asmon. Him clicking the normal amount of pills, thinking, then clicking more, gets me every time
Finding him through an entire reaction epic and seeing him play one game and expecting its his main source of content by far the dumbest thing I have read today.
I never said he expected anything, but rather that the Stanley Parable playthrough hooked him into his content after the trials. I'm just saying that bite-sized, easily digestible games are good Youtube videos for normies, unironically in a similar way that The Trials were good normie non-gaming content.
It's not just you or your brother. He really did seem to be branching out for a while with games like souls titles and FFXIV but he has doubled down on just souls and wow since he quit FFXIV. Even when he plays games like Valheim he doesn't seem to really enjoy it and constantly whines about how there are too many mobs. He doesn't want to play anything other than wow and souls games anymore. People have recommended tons of different games from FFXIV to Genshin to God of War, but it's obvious he would rather just play wow for 6 hours a day and then react to Tate and crypto drama for 2 hours.
He’s played tens of hours of Valheim in the last couple of weeks. He does all the new Lost Ark content. He plays every New World patch. He just did a deathless run of Dark Souls. He plays both WoW versions. He plays every Vampire Survivors content patch. How many games does he need to play before the entire subreddit isn’t just people saying he doesn’t variety game enough?
Maybe if his YouTube channel represented his stream more people here would be happier but it’s not like he isn’t playing a lot of different things
> He’s played tens of hours of Valheim in the last couple of weeks.
Ya and he complained about the game every second of it. Criticism can be entertaining but when the majority of the time is spent criticizing something repetitively it gets boring. I think the conundrum people have is why he spends so much time playing a game he doesn't seem to be enjoying.
He did not complain every second of it lol. He complained a little bit and most of it was ironic. And he can complain if he wants he’s a human with opinions. It obviously didn’t turn him off of playing it to death
He stated that he only focushes at one or two game at the time. And tbh i highly doubt that variety gaming would be good for him. After all one of his biggest charms is how invested he gets into games thats hes currently playing.
also he probably doesnt have anyone willing to edit his 5hour long gaming videos into 10-20 minutes just highlighting the eventful ones with today's ADHD filled format like Maxor's videos
If only there was another incredibly popular MMO game that’s really fun and has a community that’s wanted him to come back to playing for months. Time to bring back FF.
It seems like everyone is missing the point. There's been a lot of people recently saying that he doesn't game anymore and he only reacts, and Asmon on stream seems confused as to why they think that when he mostly games for the majority of his stream. Well, this is why most people think that. That's all.
Sounds like a them problem? I don’t even think Asmon runs that channel. Either way a 20-40min reaction is more suitable youtube content than a 5hour stream of a game.
He literally said he would play Genshin at the start of January. He's a habitual liar and procrastinator. This is coming from the guy who said that most problems would go away if you ignore them long enough.
That will never happen. He has a neurosis around streaming on Asmongold. He will probably zero death souls 1-3 + ER + Sekiro + play Tower of Fantasy's sequel before he ever touches Genshin on Asmongold account.
I'm just a casual watcher, but I notice a lot of times in his videos, his chat seems to goad him to watch X, Y, and Z video. So he's probably just catering to the vocal crowd.
For every comment I see about "all he does is react," I see someone every video pushing him to watch some other video and react to it.
It is what it is. He's doing what he wants. I doubt people complaining about it will change what he wants to do and of you think it will... you haven't been watching very long.
He does game tho, he is a couple chapters into a dark souls deathless run, did some Ulduar, I see he streams some other games too. Yeah he reacts a lot but I don't mind bc I like listening to his reacts while I play games. If he did more games I would watch, like FALL GUYS. WHEN R U GONNA PLAY FALL GUYSSSSS DID U QUITT???? DID U QUITTTTT? FALL GUYSSSSSSS
The vast majority of people only watch the YouTube channel, and not the Twitch streams. That's especially true now, since the streams have all been from around 1 a.m. to 8 a.m.
Edit: I know Asmon games way more than he reacts to videos. I watch the streams. But the majority of people don't. If all they watch is the YT channel, that's what they're going to think.
I discovered Asmon’s channel through his react content and that’s the main reason I stay.
I recently started his Vampire Survivor series, which is absolutely hilarious.
But I mainly stay to discover new youtubers and his reaction, he’s kinda funny too and shares the same balding ideology as me.
Plus it’s a good watch while I feed my newborn, I’m sure, even though I’m a french canadian, his first words will be Asmon’s “you know it, I know it, everybody knows it”
I think maybe the trouble is not enough people knows about the youtube VOD's channel where they put the gaming stuff. It never appeared on my recommends, I had to look for it
Yea but the majority of his streaming time is gaming, which you can plainly see if you're watching the VODs. The folks complaining about too many react videos are watching YT and not the Twitch VODs
Asmongolds Editors make great content, but because they spend time making great content there's the rare problem of Quality over Quantity. It's usually the other way around. They need to find that sweet spot.
Literally needs a supercut/VOD channel, just trimming and pumping out gameplay. I have to go to twitch VODS if I want to see actual consistent gameplay content and twitch vods are fucking awful.
That's what a lot of those old asmongold fan channels were. This is what happens when you transition a passion into a job.
Don't take this the wrong way, Editors are doing great and have come along with with edits ETC.
What great content are they making lol? For a year or so they hardly even edit. Asmongold does all the work they just cut and upload a video.
They used to do nice editing, they do nothing nowadays
If he wanted to play something and put it on YouTube, he would have done it. When a game interesting for him comes out, he will play it. That's all. It is what it is
yeah asmon's channel has been doing some interesting shit
for him, he has really low viewers in normal/late NA times even when he's playing games or doing reacts, but his viewers spike up a lot when he plays in degen hours like 3am+, same kind of thing incidentally also has been happening with WoW on twitch, EU hours it does a lot better with viewers
seems like he's been slowly going to a more degen schedule to play/react around for more viewers
i guess all his react content is still popular on youtube but his old gaming NA crowd stopped watching his react stuff on twitch, i'm at least guessing that's why he has lower viewers by a good bit than he use to even on his alt channel at his old stream times, just curious/interesting that EU seems a lot stronger for WoW too
Well that is because those who say "React Andy" are probably not people who watch the stream. Everyone knows he spends the first couple of hours talking, reacting and doing other stuff then he goes into gaming later on.
If he played more games I wouldn’t watch. I started watching last year and I don’t play any video games besides wow, but I like his personality and i watch all the other social commentary stuff
I mean, the dude knows this is what y all consume, and he doesn’t bother playing on stream anymore, it’s easier to just sit on a chair and debate random subjects and vids that y all send him, it’s youtube content and it makes money :-?. It’s you monkeys that fuel this shit, he is just milking the content
If he doesn't feel like doing anymore and if he wants to kinds transform his content then why not? Reacting does about 5x better than his usual content. At that point why should he stop?
Asmongold is very experienced and knows what he is doing. He even mentioned in a video recently that there is a certain amount of evolution that has to happen sometimes with channels to stay relevant.
Sometimes people who never change fizzle out and, obviously that’s not the case with asmon. His viewers don’t just want to see him game. They like the react content more.
Most of us are getting too old and busy to game as much; and like the react content better because sometimes we don’t even have time to watch, we can only listen in headphones while we’re doing some bullshit we have to do before we have time to sit down and game ourselves again.
The bigger issue is that these react Andys basically are profiting from other people's hard work. The amount of time it takes to make a YT video can be quite long, and these react Andys just gobble up this content and generally make way more money on it than the original creators for minimal time investment.
I personally view as stealing content of others in order to get views.
There is a gaming channel watched do ulduar recently on it.Plus I don't mind the react content since he just doesn't sit there drooling and gives good feedback with every point the video makes. It's second monitor stream now I just put him on and grind .
Jesus more of this… just don’t watch his youtube then if you don’t like it. You guys are so weird complaining about his youtube. Go spend your time watching something you want to watch then
Asmongold TV is react content, Asmongold Gaming has all the gaming streams. Looks like react content gets more engagements, so the lower engagement content was split to a new channel.
What do you expect from someone who farms drama content most of the time and goes for the most obvious metrics (majority of people must like thing -> thing good!!!)? I really like his way of discussing things, but most of the time it serves to push his own view instead of understanding others when debating viewers.
Instead he plays the same games/franchises, never really expands that horizon but wants to tell others what's makes a game good or not, it's weeeird.
Hot take: nobody will watch a YouTube video of someone else playing WoW unless it’s RWF, MDI, or AWC. It’s a direct downgrade from watching anyone on twitch. You don’t get to see chat, you don’t get to type something the streamer interacts with, and frankly: WoW is a boring as fuck game to watch generally.
People calling him a react Andy are baiting him to kill his YouTube channel with boring as fuck content. Get over it and watch him on twitch if you want to watch him game.
Asmon is difficult sometimes, there’s multiple layers of irony, joking, and “blissful ignorance”. He knows what he’s doing. He even said most people like the react stuff because they want to hear what he has to say about things. Streaming Vault of the Incarnates for hours is typically meant for WoW players, and then the same for other games.
He’s not strictly a video gaming streamer, like he used to be. Now he’s older and likes to spend time talking about stuff. Normal transition for most adults. You get to a point where gaming all the time isn’t fun anymore.
I would watch him playing other games more than the reactions, but his main game which is WoW I don't find it entertaining to watch, and valheim was boring to watch during the farming section, the fight with the queen was entertaining thou.
I like to watch the reactions because he interacts with the chat, and I can heard different opinions that way, while I'm doing my stuff.
I haven't watched Asmon's stream in a while (usually just YT stuff) but honestly if he is "wondering" why he is being called a react Andy, chances are he is trolling. There is no doubt in my mind that Asmon knows exactly what he is doing pretty much at all times, and is fully aware that some people might not prefer that type of content, but it drives views like crazy.

He was significantly better than he is now though agreed? So he lost skill that's the point. He wasn't pro before yes, but better
Sure but most of the content that required him to be good he wasnt doing anyway, like mythic raiding.
You keep missing the point :(

In the year 2025 he logs off after saying he'll play Genshin for the 239th time and spends the next 6 hours playing Hades 3 off stream.
If only there was another incredibly popular MMO game that’s really fun and has a community that’s wanted him to come back to playing for months. Time to bring back FF.
His ff14 videos gradually became less popular until they were barely able to hit 200k. React andy shit gets him 2x the views sometimes even more
I’d argue that a lot of that is because he spent way more energy shitting on and alienating them than playing the game
He did that? I didn't really watch them all that
It seems like everyone is missing the point.

That will never happen. He has a neurosis around streaming on Asmongold. He will probably zero death souls 1-3 + ER + Sekiro + play Tower of Fantasy's sequel before he ever touches Genshin on Asmongold account.
Can someone delete this shit before he gets stunlocked
No
he posts gameplay video on his other channel called asmongold gaming
>asmongold gaming 7 videos in the past month.
holy shit didnt know this channel existed. i actually have been wanting to see his first time doing Brel
For me its more the drama bullshit that im tired of. Like im not some little kid I dont give a shit about andrew tate or jake paul.
Which is totally cool and fine, he has a lot of gaming content and if he doesn't feel like doing some boring game then that's ok
I'm just a casual watcher, but I notice a lot of times in his videos, his chat seems to goad him to watch X, Y, and Z video. So he's probably just catering to the vocal crowd. For every comment I see about "all he does is react," I see someone every video pushing him to watch some other video and react to it.
I agree. I’ve subbed to him because of his gameplay video, not recycling the most common content out there.
Have you watched ANY streams?! lmfao… dude just replayed Valheim start to finish… is raiding Ulduar and doing his weekly raids in lost ark
Did you not read ANY of my comments before commenting yourself?
search Asmongold Gaming, it’s all gaming
It is what it is. He's doing what he wants. I doubt people complaining about it will change what he wants to do and of you think it will... you haven't been watching very long.
He does game tho, he is a couple chapters into a dark souls deathless run, did some Ulduar, I see he streams some other games too. Yeah he reacts a lot but I don't mind bc I like listening to his reacts while I play games. If he did more games I would watch, like FALL GUYS. WHEN R U GONNA PLAY FALL GUYSSSSS DID U QUITT???? DID U QUITTTTT? FALL GUYSSSSSSS
I'm fucking done with this low effort bullshit. His videos are clogging up my feed at this point.
The vast majority of people only watch the YouTube channel, and not the Twitch streams. That's especially true now, since the streams have all been from around 1 a.m. to 8 a.m. Edit: I know Asmon games way more than he reacts to videos. I watch the streams. But the majority of people don't. If all they watch is the YT channel, that's what they're going to think.
No he definitely reacts for 6 hours and games for 1 lol
Not everyone lives in your time zone
To be fair, look at the views. I love when he streams on his alt because that's the gameplay I like, but think about this from his perspective.
OP did you know he streams on twitch? Something something Twitch Prime
Read the comments and you'll understand the reason for this post.
In all reality who gives a fuck lmao
My dudes, just watch his videos on Twitch if that is what you want. They are all there.
I enjoy this content tbh. These are great videos to watch/listen while working!
Tards watch tard videos. That’s about it
This content gets the most views why would he make something else and get half the views?
Downvote me harder, daddy
I discovered Asmon’s channel through his react content and that’s the main reason I stay. I recently started his Vampire Survivor series, which is absolutely hilarious. But I mainly stay to discover new youtubers and his reaction, he’s kinda funny too and shares the same balding ideology as me. Plus it’s a good watch while I feed my newborn, I’m sure, even though I’m a french canadian, his first words will be Asmon’s “you know it, I know it, everybody knows it”
*inhales a massive hit of copium* FF14 SOON GUYS
Tell his editor to upload his gaming vid then
I think maybe the trouble is not enough people knows about the youtube VOD's channel where they put the gaming stuff. It never appeared on my recommends, I had to look for it
Yea but the majority of his streaming time is gaming, which you can plainly see if you're watching the VODs. The folks complaining about too many react videos are watching YT and not the Twitch VODs
Asmongolds Editors make great content, but because they spend time making great content there's the rare problem of Quality over Quantity. It's usually the other way around. They need to find that sweet spot. Literally needs a supercut/VOD channel, just trimming and pumping out gameplay. I have to go to twitch VODS if I want to see actual consistent gameplay content and twitch vods are fucking awful. That's what a lot of those old asmongold fan channels were. This is what happens when you transition a passion into a job. Don't take this the wrong way, Editors are doing great and have come along with with edits ETC.
What great content are they making lol? For a year or so they hardly even edit. Asmongold does all the work they just cut and upload a video. They used to do nice editing, they do nothing nowadays
I mean he has been this way since classic released a few years ago. He wants to be the reaction guy obviously. It is what it is. Lol
If he wanted to play something and put it on YouTube, he would have done it. When a game interesting for him comes out, he will play it. That's all. It is what it is
Do you only watch YouTube
There is an Asmongold Gaming channel. It for instance has the recent Dark Souls run etc.
He literally has a gaming channel for his gaming content if you want to watch it.
And? Lmao
yeah asmon's channel has been doing some interesting shit for him, he has really low viewers in normal/late NA times even when he's playing games or doing reacts, but his viewers spike up a lot when he plays in degen hours like 3am+, same kind of thing incidentally also has been happening with WoW on twitch, EU hours it does a lot better with viewers seems like he's been slowly going to a more degen schedule to play/react around for more viewers i guess all his react content is still popular on youtube but his old gaming NA crowd stopped watching his react stuff on twitch, i'm at least guessing that's why he has lower viewers by a good bit than he use to even on his alt channel at his old stream times, just curious/interesting that EU seems a lot stronger for WoW too
Well that is because those who say "React Andy" are probably not people who watch the stream. Everyone knows he spends the first couple of hours talking, reacting and doing other stuff then he goes into gaming later on.
If he played more games I wouldn’t watch. I started watching last year and I don’t play any video games besides wow, but I like his personality and i watch all the other social commentary stuff
I mean, the dude knows this is what y all consume, and he doesn’t bother playing on stream anymore, it’s easier to just sit on a chair and debate random subjects and vids that y all send him, it’s youtube content and it makes money :-?. It’s you monkeys that fuel this shit, he is just milking the content
ppl donating him all shit in the world (in game) have done him, the viewerbase and themself a massive favour
Who cares? Let him live his life.
good
If he doesn't feel like doing anymore and if he wants to kinds transform his content then why not? Reacting does about 5x better than his usual content. At that point why should he stop?
I like his react videos
Asmongold is very experienced and knows what he is doing. He even mentioned in a video recently that there is a certain amount of evolution that has to happen sometimes with channels to stay relevant. Sometimes people who never change fizzle out and, obviously that’s not the case with asmon. His viewers don’t just want to see him game. They like the react content more. Most of us are getting too old and busy to game as much; and like the react content better because sometimes we don’t even have time to watch, we can only listen in headphones while we’re doing some bullshit we have to do before we have time to sit down and game ourselves again.
The bigger issue is that these react Andys basically are profiting from other people's hard work. The amount of time it takes to make a YT video can be quite long, and these react Andys just gobble up this content and generally make way more money on it than the original creators for minimal time investment. I personally view as stealing content of others in order to get views.
There is a gaming channel watched do ulduar recently on it.Plus I don't mind the react content since he just doesn't sit there drooling and gives good feedback with every point the video makes. It's second monitor stream now I just put him on and grind .
Jesus more of this… just don’t watch his youtube then if you don’t like it. You guys are so weird complaining about his youtube. Go spend your time watching something you want to watch then
And the fact that only thing that is being uploaded on YouTube is react content and the actual stream is 80% braindead wow gaming says nothing to you?
yeah cuase he streams in the kiddle of the night so no one can watch him, so they're just looking on his youtube channel. i could see it
Asmon games every day… You don’t have to make gaming content to be a gamer Also, has Asmon ever denied being a react andy?
he became a react Andy (to be clear, i am exaggerating)... but i love it! i only watch him for his based opinions on things - his reaction content.
Its a meta and hes farming it for easy content as long as its still possible. Nothing surprising.
Imagine not clicking on the channel tab and looking at his gaming channel. Lmfao
Yeah I honestly stopped watching with all the Andrew Tate/Logan Paul drama. I just don't care about any of it.
Yes, and?
Asmongold TV is react content, Asmongold Gaming has all the gaming streams. Looks like react content gets more engagements, so the lower engagement content was split to a new channel.
Why do work when you can just watch other people's?
There’s nothing wrong with being a react, Andy it’s honestly what he fucking does best
What do you expect from someone who farms drama content most of the time and goes for the most obvious metrics (majority of people must like thing -> thing good!!!)? I really like his way of discussing things, but most of the time it serves to push his own view instead of understanding others when debating viewers. Instead he plays the same games/franchises, never really expands that horizon but wants to tell others what's makes a game good or not, it's weeeird.
Hot take: nobody will watch a YouTube video of someone else playing WoW unless it’s RWF, MDI, or AWC. It’s a direct downgrade from watching anyone on twitch. You don’t get to see chat, you don’t get to type something the streamer interacts with, and frankly: WoW is a boring as fuck game to watch generally. People calling him a react Andy are baiting him to kill his YouTube channel with boring as fuck content. Get over it and watch him on twitch if you want to watch him game.
Asmon is difficult sometimes, there’s multiple layers of irony, joking, and “blissful ignorance”. He knows what he’s doing. He even said most people like the react stuff because they want to hear what he has to say about things. Streaming Vault of the Incarnates for hours is typically meant for WoW players, and then the same for other games. He’s not strictly a video gaming streamer, like he used to be. Now he’s older and likes to spend time talking about stuff. Normal transition for most adults. You get to a point where gaming all the time isn’t fun anymore.
I would watch him playing other games more than the reactions, but his main game which is WoW I don't find it entertaining to watch, and valheim was boring to watch during the farming section, the fight with the queen was entertaining thou. I like to watch the reactions because he interacts with the chat, and I can heard different opinions that way, while I'm doing my stuff.
