Asmongold slams \u201ccondescending\u201d Diablo 2 Resurrected Amazon changes Blizzard Entertainment, YouTube: AsmongoldDiablo 2 Resurrected\u2019s iteration of the iconic Amazon class has sparked mass debate among fans of the title, and Asmongold has weighed in with his thoughts on her in-game changes. If there\u2019s one character that will go down in Diablo history as being one of the most controversial, it\u2019s Diablo 2 Resurrected\u2019s warrior queen, the Amazon. Initially slammed for being unattractive by prospective players, Blizzard fixed her in-game model with a little bit of plastic surgery. While this helped her regain her status as Sanctuary\u2019s resident exotic beauty, subsequent admittance from the game\u2019s developers that they did tone down some aspects of the game has left players disgruntled once more. One of these is Twitch star Asmongold, who has actively criticized Blizzard\u2019s removal of inappropriate content in their games for some time. Asmongold slams Diablo 2 Resurrected Amazon changes While it has never been confirmed that the changes to the Amazon\u2019s curvaceous form were in response to the current lawsuit against Activision Blizzard for fostering a \u201cpervasive frat boy culture\u201d within the workplace, the recent removal of hyper-sexualized content suggests that it may have been a factor.

I do.\u201d He goes on to clarify that \u201cI know a lot of people might not really care, but I do. I don\u2019t like to see this happen, this revisionism. I want to play a video game. The extent that they\u2019re going to change the game based off of them trying to make up for the fact they molest people at their office is just, it\u2019s insulting to me as a player. I think that it\u2019s also condescending. It\u2019s patronizing.\u201d He concludes that \u201cthe implication is that the players are somehow at fault for playing the game. There\u2019s no artistic integrity. The game is no longer an artistic expression, it\u2019s now a vehicle to promote an agenda and a worldview, and I don\u2019t really want to play a game like that if I don\u2019t have to.\u201d As Blizzard continues to remove inappropriate content from their games, it\u2019ll be interesting to see what\u2019s next on the chopping block. One thing, however, is very clear; Asmongold isn\u2019t in support of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
