Summary
The famous streamer Asmongold will not playDiablo 4anymore, according to one of his latest videos. Previously, he enjoyed playing the title during streams, but some of the changes inDiablo 4’s Season 1 update have angered him enough to make him quit, as well as lead some fans toreview bombDiablo 4.
This is not the first time that the streamer has become mad with Season of the Malignant. Last week,Asmongold criticized the latestDiablo 4update, affirming that the whole game is now worse and more challenging. In the update, several builds were nerfed, while enemies became stronger in different ways, which did not sit well with the streamer. Essentially, he believes thatDiablo 4may now be too punishing and that players will need to grind more due to the increased difficulty, which is not fun.

Now, Asmongold has criticizedDiablo 4again, stating that he would quit playing. In a recent YouTube clip, he kept being killed by the same boss, rage-quitting after he was defeated four times in a row. At the end of the clip, the streamer said that he wouldn’t be playing the game anymore because the mechanics were bad, and he was not having fun anymore. He even answered one of the viewers, who was calling him a quitter, explaining that he would not just stand there and play a game that “sucks.”Warning: the clip below contains profanity.
Asmongold abandoningDiablo 4is far from the only example of the negativity the game has received after the 1.1 update. The overall reception of Season of the Malignant has been mixed, and someDiablo 4players want better rewards for side quests, for example. Many gamers have complained that finishing side quests is not worth the effort most of the time, as they don’t get many experience points and most of the items that are gained as rewards are not very exciting.
Overall, the unhappy player basedoes not bode well forDiablo 4’s future seasons. This is a live service that Blizzard hopes will still be popular after a few years, so angering gamers soon after the launch is far from a good sign, and it could erode the overall goodwill of the community. Now all players can do is wait and see if Blizzard’s next updates will solve the current issues of the game.
Diablo 4is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
