Valkyrae explains her idea to save Among Us from dying 100 Thieves, InnerSlothYouTube star turned 100 Thieves co-owner Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter gained prominence in 2020 for her Among Us streams, and has explained why the game\u2019s popularity is in serious decline. Both avid gamers and casual players dipped their toes into Among Us during the game\u2019s meteoric rise during 2020. The perfect way to kill some time and shout abuse at your friends, the title became quite the phenomenon. 2021, however, has seen its popularity drop off a cliff. With former players like Sykkuno noting that the planning aspect of the game is more bother than it\u2019s worth, streamers are now flocking to the likes of Valorant or GTA RP. Valkyrae has a different take on why the game has seen such rapid decline, and she makes some pretty interesting points. Valkyrae on the Among Us decline While playing the werewolf-style party game with the original crew, she admits that she\u2019s been asking herself \u201cwhy did Among Us fall off?\u201d Answering her own question, she notes that \u201cI think that if Among Us wants to stay popular, I think what they need to do is make it so that people can create their own maps, y\u2019know like designing and putting vents in places and stuff.\u201d She calls for more \u201ccustomization options, as they\u2019re not releasing maps, or even just aesthetic things, fast enough.\u201d The TLDR is, in order to keep the title alive, InnerSloth need to up their output or, alternatively, let players have more of a say. (Topic begins at 50:28) Despite actively admitting that she missed the game, the queen of YouTube is clearly more there for the company than the actual gameplay. While it\u2019s great to see the Amigops and friends take to the hallowed halls of the Among Us spaceship once more and scream at each other for being sus, it appears that the devs will need to up their game if they want the title to remain prominent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
