Blizzard's drama continues as the game company continues to deal with the devs that are involved with the recent harassment lawsuit; this time Diablo 4 Game Director Luis Barriga, Blizzard lead level designer Jesse McCree, and World of Warcraft designer Jonathan LeCraft were let go from the company. There is still no release date available for the beloved Blizzard action-RPG, but we can be sure this will delay things and competition will be fierce for D4 with Path of Exile 2 coming out next year...
There's been a lot of escalation in the WoW community recently and I wanted to make a longer video and just give my thoughts on it.
Asmongold watches a video by Josh Strife Hayes, who discusses about how parasitic design applies to Games and MMOs. We know all too well how systems and mechanics applied in several World of Warcraft expansions are added only to boost and bruteforce playtime, while many of the best ideas are completely forgotten when moving on to a new expansion...
A Final Fantasy 14 Veteran had some truth bombs dropped for the World of Warcraft community, are WoW Players actually addicted to one single game? Asmongold discusses about the exodus of players quitting WoW and also the visual clarity within FFXIV & WoW.
Asmongold reacts to Bellular, who goes over the latest earnings report published a few days ago by Blizzard. In just 4 years, Blizzard has lost almost half of its monthly active users (46m to 26m MAUs). This report was before the Blizzard Lawsuit and the massive exodus of players quitting WoW to greener pastures and MMO, such as Final Fantasy XIV... This report certainly shows a massive drop in the userbase of all the company games, such as: World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Diablo, Overwatch, Starcraft and Heroes of the Storm which was left in a "dead state" by the company itself..
After Asmongold said that the World of Warcraft community is trash and also fired back to some Blizzard developers insulting him (even before the Blizzard lawsuit was made public); there's been quite a lot of people that have tried to attack him on Twitter and paint him as one of the main cause of the existing toxicity in the WoW's community. Is this the reason so many people are quitting WoW? Asmongold discusses and responds to these attacks...

A few days ago Asmongold made a comment about the state of the World of Warcraft community compared to the Final Fantasy XIV one, the clip stirred up quite a lot of drama, so much that even a Senior System Designer for World of Warcraft liked tweets that were accusing asmon of being the one who caused the toxicity in WoW in the first place. But is this actually true?
Asmongold watches a video by Josh Strife Hayes, who discusses about games and particularly MMOs that might have a slow start but which eventually get good. Final Fantasy XIV, World of Warcraft, Warframe and many other games & MMORPGs take time before the story starts ramping up or the player can reach the End Game. Is this a fault of the game itself? Asmongold discusses...
Summit Joins Asmongold & Rich on Allcraft, sharing his first impressions about Final Fantasy 14 and discussing how the Square Enix MMO is superior compared to World of Warcraft.Enjoy this MMORPG talk...
Asmongold watches a video by Stoopzz, who discusses about something not always considered by the WoW community and which makes the Blizzard's MMO one of the worst examples in terms of P2W games. The WoW token gives players the ability to essentially buy anything in the game, from expensive BoEs to carry runs against the most challenging encounters. So why do most WoW players antagonize other games when they introduce paid quality of life features, when in reality Blizzard's is far far greedier with WoW?
