    Hayes says:

  • If a publisher made a very good game, they would just make a video about it and say it was good.
  • But if Blizzard was going to make a crappy game and pay him to tell everyone it was good, they should put the money into the game and improve it.

    • What does Asmongold say? Of course, Asmongold has long since responded to the video (via YouTube). With this, Hayes is running into open doors at Asmongold, although Asmongold does not display such selfless behavior when it comes to sponsorship.

    On the contrary: Asmongold wants Blizzard to pay him retroactively if he praises their game.

    The streamer is still angry that Blizzard paid streamer Emiru extra to play Overwatch 2. While he, the great Blizzard critic, defended Overwatch 2 for free against critical voices among the fans.
