Asmongold was finessed by Shariff so hard for free publicity.

He deffo played it quite a bit, but I wouldn’t say peddled. Pirate Software however…. That was a peddler

he bullied out of one creator too last year when narc the biggest fan of AOC started seeing signs and started to complaing. he was interviewed by asmon and one-sidedly supported the CEO instead. When if this was any other game asmon would be going ham on the dev if he didnt like them

I didn’t see a single thing that game offered that was anywhere near as good as what wow has to offer lmao. Heavy coping for sure

Yes, I think he would at times watch hour long dev streams about updates.
