Asmongold Is Still Banned From Twitch. He Has Published Two More YouTube Videos Anyway.
On August 14, a Ubisoft victory claim. On August 16, something about Japan, Trump, and Obama. The ZackRawrr channel remains offline.
The suspension was still running when the video went up. On August 14, six days into a two-week Twitch ban he confirmed on August 8, Asmongold published a YouTube video titled "We Did This. We Forced Ubisoft To Confront Reality," according to coverage aggregated by Mshale from the Google News feed. The specific Ubisoft development the video addresses is not described in available sourcing. Asmongold had already reacted on August 10 to comments from the Ubisoft CEO concerning the Stop Killing Games campaign, but the August 14 title adds a distinct frame: the gaming community, by his accounting, forced a corporate reckoning. "We did this" is a credit-claiming statement. Whether Ubisoft changed anything structurally is a separate question the title alone does not answer.
Two days after that, on August 16, a second video appeared on the same channel: "What The F*ck Is Happening In Japan.. Trump Obama." The title links Japan, Donald Trump, and Barack Obama in a single subject line. What connects the three in the video's actual content is not detailed in available sourcing beyond the title and its unique identifier (fTsgyUUnAI) surfaced by Mshale. The video is consistent with Asmongold's documented mid-ban pattern of reacting to political and international news clips on YouTube rather than Twitch.
For the record, the ZackRawrr Twitch channel has been suspended since August 7. The YouTube channel has not paused once.
The documented sequence from the past nine days:
- August 7: ZackRawrr suspended on Twitch. A suspected ban clip surfaces on r/LivestreamFail the same day.
- August 8: Asmongold confirms a two-week suspension and announces plans to appeal.
- August 9: Discloses a health scare, declines to apologize, and states that platforms should permanently ban users who call for violence.
- August 10: Alleges Twitch is "straight up lying." Reacts to the Ubisoft CEO's Stop Killing Games comments on YouTube.
- August 11: Comments on a Blizzard scandal, also via YouTube.
- August 14: Publishes "We Did This. We Forced Ubisoft To Confront Reality."
- August 16: Publishes "What The F*ck Is Happening In Japan.. Trump Obama."
The Ubisoft framing in the August 14 title represents a change from his August 10 reaction, which covered the Stop Killing Games exchange from the outside. By August 14, the title places him inside the outcome. Whether the video's content supports that framing is not established by available sourcing.
What happens next: Asmongold's Twitch appeal, announced August 8, has no confirmed outcome on record as of August 16. A two-week suspension dating from August 7 or 8 would expire around August 21 or 22, absent any modification from Twitch. HasanAbi's August 12 public call for a permanent ban on both Twitch and YouTube has received no documented response from either platform. Whether the Japan video generates the same external commentary cycle that followed his earlier mid-ban output is not yet established.
