Sure it accomplishes a lot.
He gets special treatment because of how many viewers he has, it’s a known fact. Otherwise he’d be banned long ago due to crashing servers etc. like anyone else would be and have been in the past.
So yeah, it makes sense to call him an ahole because he acts like one.
He dishes out way worse to the devs so he can take some clapback, it’s literally everyone else on the forums and in his chat that cares about this, not him.
For the record, then I receive forum bans very frequently. It is very rare these days that I am able to violate the Code of Conduct without repercussions. I definitely get reported for the smallest of violations and I definitely get smacked with the banhammer for them as well.
And that’s fine. That’s how it should be. Rules should be followed and penalty should be enforced on those who don’t follow them. And I sometimes don’t and completely deserve every rightful ban I get.
Do players tend to go overboard with their torches and pitchforks on the internet? Yes. All the time. In all kinds of situations. And that’s also why it is so dumb of the Blizzard employee. Had he thought about it for 2 seconds he should have known that he was creating an explosive situation for absolutely no reason. Like… just dont.
Yeah i know that and i feel that for you i know me and you go at it at times but i do respect you .
2 very close friends of mine tell me to re read my posts often before i press enter i do most of the time but i still end up banned 
LMAO What!!?
In USA any publicity=good publicity. They are paying Asmon to bash the game. It gets them more publicity than all their cringey TV ads put together.
If I were Blizzard’s PR team, then I would suggest trying to sway him a bit in their favor instead of painting him as a villain.
Send him some free promotional material. Offer him an interview. Invite him to fan summits. Make him a fanboy. If he gets some positive experiences with Blizzard and the employees, then he’s more likely to talk about them in positive ways and be more understanding of their hardships.
Take T&E. They often speak fondly of Blizzard because of the fact that they know some of the developers personally, so they sort of have their corner.
Trying to ignore and silence Asmongold has not really turned out for the better. The guy clearly appeals to a lot of people, so Blizzard should put some effort into turning him more to their side.
That’s what I would do anyway.
No, and that’s why I said if. It’s still bad PR, so he’s not off the hook though. It’s USA, where you can get fired without a notice in an instant, so if you value your job, you better watch what you’re posting, or at least do it on an anonymous account.
Lol. Im actually tired of some random names that does not affect this game in any way.
I would be glad to see ff14 and this a player names banned on this forum.
Are you kidding me? The guy has such a huge platform that if he would just parrot the talking-points and behavior that Blizzard would like, then he’d be worth a fortune in sheer advertisement.
But the problem is that he doesn’t say nice things all the time, he’s rude and immature most of the time, and he doesn’t exactly come across as a good figure model.
But maybe the reason why he’s so appealing to his viewers is that he doesn’t fit the mold.
Regardless, it’s silly to not at least acknowledge that the guy carries some weight in the community – toxic and immature as he might be.
I believe he attracts a big part of the crowd that watch him due to what he says and how he says it. Meaning that he is rude and immature as you said but that’s what they enjoy, someone doing all that stuff without actually being themselves but someone else to get the blame in the end incase whatever happens. It’s easy to just stand back while someone else gets all the eyes on him. I am not a fan of him personally but still inappropriate to get publicly called anything.
A completely out of context screen shot that we have no idea what it’s about, connected to or anything.
That’s banning swearing is 
Thankfully in Italy we don’t have this problems
Ah context!! Thank you
I see both of them have had to make their accounts private due to the fallout 
or you know, use a personal account not tied to your company like most smart people that grew up knowing how internet works do.
Asmon himself is a decent guy but his chat/community has an absolutely high amount of what could be described as edgelord spergs who will literally drop to the lowest of the low in the name of ‘banter’.
i am not.
and people like him watch him. He is nobody to me. What i dislike when people keep mentioning him on forums like he is something.
No he is nothing, but as you said.
I’ve seen the fallout some streamer fans cause when they go on their hateful campaigns on behalf of their idols. It’s not healthy. I don’t think there is much the streamers themselves can do about it apart from cast out these undesirable types from their communities, if that is even possible.
As for Asmon, I can see why people watch him and find him entertaining. He’s not my cup of tea but on the other hand I don’t watch any streamers. I do follow him on twitter and he can make some very sensible posts from time to time when he’s not in his streamer persona.
Hm, I see your problem. You’re using Twitter, the most toxic and anti-social place on the Internet by light years.
That aside, the person saying is very much that, a person. Expressing an opinion in a open space. It’s like there are no smoking zones (these forums, the game) and then there’s the wider world.
Can you blame the dev though? I watch asmon a bit and actually don’t mind him, not much of a fan either. But he’s constantly saying how incompetent the devs are, how they don’t listen to any feedback, and that they’re purposely creating poor content. I think that justifies calling someone the A word, I’d have said much worse if it was me 
They are incometent. They give us patch where they remove some fixes by mistake. It is like selling car where some one remove breakes because of his incopetence.
The problem is we don’t know the inner workings of blizzard do we. It’s easy to blame the devs, but at the same time take into consideration what we’ve seen over the last year. Mass lay offs, devs grossly under paid compared to the average wage in there field. Literally seen articles by employees having to live in flats with other workers, barely affording food.
A lot of top devs with 20 years+ experience have left over the last year. And blizzards engine is about 20 years old, with extremely outdated coding. Which interns, and new employees have got to work a round with 0 years experience. I’ve done alot of game coding over the years, and literally adding in a line of code can mess up any number of things linked to it. Bare in mind the people coding now won’t have done any of the original coding, and know instinctively what else is linked to that like the OG devs.
Not saying it isn’t the devs fault, but there’s a ton of stuff behind the scenes we as customers don’t see. Calling the devs incompetent is extremely insulting if their trying to do the best job they can. I’ve called em incompetent lately, but when you look at the bigger picture we don’t know.
