Asmongold is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, despite not being on the platform recently. Aftertaking a break due to a house fire incident, he then announced he was taking a longer break after his mother’s passing.
Despite stepping away from Twitch due to personal grief, Asmongold is still uploading YouTube videos and keeping in touch with his community. In one of these recent videos Asmongold discussed a new development in the ongoing drama involving him andWorld of Warcraft, a game he became famous for streaming. This new development centers on a new initiative on Blizzard’s part regardingWorld of Warcraft, and it’s a bit strange to say the least.

World of Warcraftrecently launched an initiative for a Community Council made up of players andWoWcommunity contributers. Basically, players very involved in the game would get together and discuss the game, running their suggestions and observations up to Blizzard to help the game run smoother. AsAsmongold has many criticisms ofWoW, he’d be a perfect fit, and after first thinking he wouldn’t join, he decided to send in an application. This happened after getting a duplicate of some loot he already had after a difficult boss fight, an incident which apparently made him decide something had to be done to address the problems withWorld of Warcraftand he had the insight to do it.
Asmongold’s application to the Council was snarky to say the least, openly criticizing the wayWoWoperates when it comes to collectibles and late-game gameplay. It does not praiseWorld of Warcraftor its parent company in the slightest and is brutally honest, as would be expected fromAsmongold. What was unexpected was Blizzard’s response, which said that Asmongold’s request ticket had been resolved with the following response: no response posted.
This is confusing to say the least. Such a response could mean that his ticket has been rejected by being placed in limbo forever. This would make sense, since Asmongold has had nothing good to say aboutWoWfor a while and Blizzard may want nothing to do with him. It also wouldn’t be the first time a company would refuse to allow Asmongold a more intimate relationship, asTwitch would not give him a custom contract.
Of course, that’s not to say Twitch and Asmongold’s business isn’t cozy, especially if therecent Twitch leakis to be believed (though Asmongold says it is not). It’s also not to say that Asmongold would not be perfect for a Council created, supposedly, to point out what’s wrong withWoW. Maybe he really will get the position, but it isn’t likely.
