Asmongold under fire for silencing critics of his Diablo Immortal pay-to-win stream Asmongold\/Blizzard EntertainmentTwitch star Asmongold has drawn heat for deleting posts on his subreddit that called him out for his Diablo Immortal broadcasts where he spends considerable amounts of money on the game. Asmongold has long taken a vocal stance against pay-to-win video games. He even specifically called out Blizzard for including this model in their new mobile game Diablo Immortal. Although he shared his distaste for Blizz\u2019s handling of the APRG title, he still streamed his first playthrough and even decided to spend money on in-game currency every time the game prompted him to. Now, he faces a backlash from his community. Asmongold caught deleting negative Reddit posts While streaming on his backup account zackrawrr on June 3, the 30-year-old streamer was caught deleting tons of negative posts on his subreddit, r\/Asmongold. All of the posts he can be seen deleting are ones calling him out for spending nearly $350 on Immortal in his first broadcast of the game. Asmon apparently was trying to prove a point about spending money on free-to-play games, but that point was lost on those who already are aware of how predatory pay-to-win games can be. His own subreddit moderators even took a stand against deleting the posts. Mod Voiddyn said, \u201cWe\u2019re not taking down this thread. And if it gets taken down it\u2019s just a miscommunication in the mod team and just DM us. We understand the frustration and many agree with the points. Just think it\u2019s worded a bit hostile for our full support. But we\u2019re going to keep it up either way.\u201d Shortly after Asmongold pulled down the post, Voiddyn added: \u201cAsmon took it down, so I\u2019m unable to restore it. Sorry folks.\u201d One Asmongold fan called deleting negative posts \u201ccringe\u201d and said it is \u201chypocrisy to the maximum.\u201d Despite approaching against pay-to-win games in the past, Asmongold\u2019s fans believe he\u2019s now embracing it with his Diablo Immortal streams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
