Asmongold's name already reserved?

[Baelharth-azralon (Baelharth)]

No.
A fan reservd the name for him and gave it to him.
Also he is prolly all jolly seeing how randoms get soo mad at anything involving him.

To tell you the truth, I think that all the hate posts about him here is better advertising than he could buy. Instead of just ignoring him, they end up promoting him because his name is always in at least one thread on the main page.

Same i watched the guy over 2 weeks.
I mean, i really don’t see anything that bad about him sounds like a regular person playing wow doing a bit of everything; I just found the whole mount farm and video reactions boring af so i dont watch the guy.

To wrap this up, if Blizzard wanted streamers to have priority, the answer to the OP would have been Yes.

It was not. Blizzard didn’t and hasn’t given streamers special priority. It’s all made up.

They have given them priority in other ways for classic, and that’s fine. They may not have just gave them their names or anything like that, but they did invite them to Q&As, they gave them beta access, they invited them to early playtests… all of which is completely understandable and in fact GOOD.

That’s because those streamers reach more people, create more advertising and exposure, which leads to more money.

These past 60 posts of peeps defending their epeenz was grand

I’M RIGHT YOU ARE WRONG!
No U!!

@Allanua-korgath

but they did invite them to Q&As

Because they’re a media source. They also invited Kotaku etc.

I would imagine that no game company, no matter how good or bad their game is, would ever frown upon free publicity.

You’re 100% correct, in that this is how Blizzard looks at it now days.

What they appear to ignore is all the damage and harm to creativity, real thinking, and just awesomeness that can exist when “influencers” are not part of that equation.

Social media influencers such as twitch and Youtube do wag the tail of game design and direction because they have influence over a vocal minority of gamers who like to emulate those people and copy / paste that style of gaming over and over.

This does 2 things to a game…

1. Establishes a Meta for better or worse.
2. stream lines creativity and theory crafting (game craft) harming the depth of game play and worse; causes real creative use of game mechanics to be viewed as an exploit worthy of being deleted from the game simply because some wimp on a stream does not like that mechanic that he did not think of first.

I know that’s what I said…

[Ninius-black-dragonflight]

Lol he doesn’t pay a dime to play this game. His followers pay it for him.

[Cryodemic-malganis]

You don’t think he’d play if not for being a streamer? Your logic is a little bit of a stretch.
