Hafu follows DisguisedToast as Among Us stars slowly quit the game Instagram: itsHafu \/ InnerslothRumay \u2018Hafu\u2019 Wang is the latest in a line of Among Us streamers looking at dropping the popular party game after growing bored. It comes after Jeremy \u2018DisguisedToast\u2019 Wang also claimed he was taking a break, and highlights a concerning trend. Among Us took Twitch and the gaming community by storm across 2020. The party game, developed in 2018, boomed from 50 average players a day to over 5 million. However, as the four-man development team tries to pump out content for the game, including the new Airship map, streamers are slowly moving away. First it was Jeremy \u2018DisguisedToast\u2019 Wang deciding to take a break. Arguably the biggest Among Us content creator, Toast\u2019s career was reignited by the game, catapulting him into stardom after his Hearthstone and Teamfight Tactics days. Now, Rumay \u2018Hafu\u2019 Wang is joining him. Hafu claimed she only has about \u201ca month\u201d of Among Us content left before the game becomes too stale for her. \u201cI feel very similar [to Toast],\u201d she said on a recent stream. \u201cRight now I\u2019m having fun because I haven\u2019t played with the new mods, but I don\u2019t have the same kind of passion that I had for Among Us.\u201d New content just doesn\u2019t scratch the itch anymore. With the game practically solved for her, playing the party game just doesn\u2019t bring the same level of enjoyment compared to nearly a year ago when the craze caught on. \u201cThe reason why games get boring for me is because they stop mentally challenging me. Instead of learning new ways to think and new mechanics, it\u2019s a knowledge grind, over and over again,\u201d she said. \u201cNew maps don\u2019t solve that. New mods solve that in Among Us \u2014 but as soon as our group learns it, it\u2019ll be done.\u201d Hafu burning out of Among Us exposes trend The imminent departure of two of Among Us\u2019 biggest content creators is part of a wider trend that has seen the game fall in popularity in 2021. Since Among Us\u2019 peak on Twitch back in September 2020 with nearly 300,000 average viewers at any one time, numbers have dropped by over 90% to just 20,000. It\u2019s spiked occasionally, but there\u2019s a clear and rapid decline. Read More: Will xQc return to GTA RP? – This is also seen in the game\u2019s Steam charts. After peaking at 176,000 average concurrent players in October 2020, and a peak of 438,524 in September, Among Us struggles to pull in 20,000 average concurrent players on a monthly basis. While Among Us might see a resurgence in the future \u2014 like GTA RP has done numerous times, most recently in March 2021 \u2014 it might be without the stars that propelled the game into the conscious of millions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
