Summary
Asmongold hasn’t been streamingWorld of Warcrafton Twitch nearly as much as he once did, and now he’s explained that he’s bored with the game. The question came up during a recent Twitch stream, where Asmongold explained his feelings onWorld of Warcraftand gave some insight into the direction of his channel.
Asmongold started playingWorld of Warcraftway back in 2006, and it arguably changed his life. Three years later, Asmongold would start releasing videos on YouTube aboutWorld of Warcraft, ultimately evolving into him regularly streaming the game in the years to come. As one can imagine,World of Warcraftfans who helpedpropel Asmongold on Twitchare curious about why the streamer hasn’t been as active in the game.
During a recent stream, Asmongold was asked about his lack ofWorld of Warcraftstreams and the reasoning behind it.Asmongold acknowledgedthe query, saying that he gets asked daily, and that it makes sense given his history on video platforms. However, he basically doesn’t want to stream it these days because the game bores him. Asmongold has spent thousands of hours playingWorld of Warcraftover the years, and he states that he doesn’t feel that there’s anything left for him to do in the game that’s fulfilling, makingWorld of Warcraft"boring" and “weird” for him. It’s not the first time he’s said something similar,as Asmongold said he was done withWorld of Warcraftas far back as 2022.
Will Asmongold Stream World of Warcraft More in the Future?
In 2024, Asmongold spent just over 100 hours playingWorld of Warcraft, versus nearly 1500 in the “Just Chatting” category. Asmongold has left the door open for the potential of returning toWorld of Warcraft. However, he notes that he wants to take it easy in games, and feels no need to “earn respect by playing video games” throughhardcoreWorld of Warcraftstreams. He says it could absolutely change, but for now, Asmongold fans shouldn’t hold their breath for him to return to the MMORPG in force for the forseeable future.
While Asmongold isn’t doing as much of what gained him fame and attention in the first place, it doesn’t seem to be having a significant impact on his popularity or finances.Asmongold’s second channel was recently monetized, which earned him over $90,000 in just a few days from viewers subscribing and donating bits. While it’s possible that some of his audience could fall off now that they know the streamer’s current stance onWorld of Warcraft, most have likely grown accustomed to his channel’s new direction.
