Asmongold is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, with over 2.4 million followers. Even though the co-founder of OTK has added several titles to his collection, he announced a week-long hiatus to focus on recuperating.
However, Benjamin ‘DrLupo’ Lupo and Timothy ‘TimTheTatman’ Betar, and Jack ‘Courage’ Dunlop leaving Twitch for YouTube, forced him to break out of his cocoon to weigh in on recent events.
Earlier today, he went live to reveal that he may never be exclusive to Twitch after the platform refused his request for a long-term deal.
He said:
Asmongold also went on to reiterate how he has been extremely critical of the platform, which could’ve stacked the odds against him, making him a liability and a brand risk.
More importantly, the 32-year-old streamer also revealed that he had taken a couple of breaks away from the platform, not counting the current one, which could have played a decisive part in him not getting an exclusive contract.
Will Asmongold jump ship?
After revealing that he’d only be stepping away for a brief period, the community displayed tremendous support for Asmongold.
The World of Warcraft streamer is set to return to his current platform in the next few days. But with how things are shaping up, he could be yet another name on the list of elite streamers defecting to YouTube.
