After a nine-month-long hiatus, Asmongold made his triumphant return to FFXIV for the first time since September 2021. The 30-year-old streamer broadcasted the beginning of the Stormblood expansion, bringing back the Final Fantasy XIV audience that had left his stream so long ago. Although he\u2019s said before he loves the game, and even believes it replaced World of Warcraft as king of modern MMOs, he\u2019s now threatening to quit the game altogether. Asmongold says he might quit FFXIV due to viewership \u201ctrolls\u201d On July 1, Asmongold explained why his return to FFXIV wasn\u2019t exactly the elegant comeback he envisioned.

I don\u2019t want to do that, where every post on my Reddit is about Final Fantasy, and everything else is downvoted, and whenever I\u2019m not playing it people are mad.\u201d The OTK streamer called his FFXIV audience \u201cvery constraining,\u201d and \u201csuper obnoxious.\u201d He also blamed \u201ctrolls\u201d for filling up his Reddit with only Final Fantasy content. He finished with, \u201cI would like to play the game and not have people find problems with it. Because I\u2019ll be honest, if that keeps happening, I\u2019ll just not play. I don\u2019t want to deal with that. Why would I willingly sign myself up for something that\u2019s unenjoyable?\u201d I know a lot of you guys want me to play x or y game Just try to chill out a bit lol We&#8217;ll be back on Saturday with some games most likely, whether it&#8217;s FF14 MSQ or the Cuphead DLC \u2014 Zack (@Asmongold) June 30, 2022 Asmongold has hit out at FFXIV \u201cpurists\u201d in the past who have ruined his experience with the game, and now, it seems they have returned. It\u2019s not exactly clear yet if Asmon will actually quit a game he genuinely enjoys playing because of the audience\u2019s behavior, but he\u2019s certainly being pushed to that point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asmongold threatens to quit FFXIV as viewers make MMO \u201cunenjoyable\u201d Asmongold\/Square EnixTwitch star Asmongold called out his FFXIV audience and threatened to stop playing the popular MMO if fans of the game continue to nitpick his broadcasts.
