Asmongold blasts Pokimane\u2019s \u201cpandering\u201d comments about playing Blizzard games Twitch: Asmongold \/ PokimaneAsmongold fired back at Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys after she claimed that popular streamers shouldn\u2019t play Activision Blizzard titles. He described it as a \u201cmoot point\u201d and claimed it was just \u201cpandering\u201d. On December 8, Pokimane shared her thoughts on Activision Blizzard\u2019s involvement in multiple controversies. She claimed that financially well-off streamers shouldn\u2019t play their games as a means to boycott them. Asmongold shared his thoughts on her take, and he came to a different conclusion. He believes streamers shouldn\u2019t be expected to stop playing the games they want, and other people\u2019s opinions shouldn\u2019t influence them. \u201cDid I see Pokimane\u2019s take on big streamers playing Activision Blizzard games? Yeah, I saw it,\u201d he said \u201cIt\u2019s always hard to draw a line of what you should and shouldn\u2019t support and why you should and shouldn\u2019t support something. \u201cIn my opinion, I think that it\u2019s just a complete moot point because people are going to do whatever is beneficial to them,\u201d he added. \u201cAny expectation otherwise is just stupid\u2026 It\u2019s just pandering. That\u2019s all there is to it.\u201d Asmon insisted that other people\u2019s opinions shouldn\u2019t determine whether a person decides to play a game or not. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t really matter what people tell you. It doesn\u2019t matter what influencers or opinion-makers say.\u201d In the end, he concluded: \u201cThe only thing that really matters to you\u2026 is what you want to spend your money on. You\u2019re not really accountable to anyone on what you spend that money on, other than yourself.\u201d Poki also said that she thinks streamers who keep playing Activision Blizzard games should be \u201cextremely vocal\u201d about the company\u2019s issues. Asmonold has certainly done that. He described the allegations against the company as \u201cshameful\u201d and also expressed his support for the employee walkout. However, as far as boycotting their games goes, he believes it shouldn\u2019t be up to anyone else except the player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
