Still Banned, Asmongold Turns His Attention to Blizzard and the Ubisoft CEO

His ZackRawrr channel remains suspended as of August 11. The appeal he announced on August 8 has not resolved publicly. None of that appears to have slowed his output elsewhere, because on August 10 Asmongold surfaced commentary on a Ubisoft CEO exchange about Stop Killing Games, and by August 11 he had moved on to what mshale.com described as Blizzard's "horrifying scandal," according to coverage published by that outlet.

The Ubisoft clip came first. Stop Killing Games is a consumer-rights campaign that has spent months pressuring publishers over the practice of remotely disabling games after sales end, and the campaign's advocates had managed to put the question directly to Ubisoft's chief executive. According to mshale.com's August 10 report, Asmongold weighed in on how that conversation went. The outlet does not characterize his verdict warmly, though the precise language Asmongold used is attributed to the streamer by the source rather than independently confirmed here.

For the record, Asmongold's position on publisher accountability for games preservation is not new territory. He has argued the angle before, and the Stop Killing Games campaign has drawn commentary from a wide range of gaming creators. His entry into that conversation this week is consistent with the pattern.

The Blizzard item is newer and, by the framing mshale.com chose, more pointed. "Blizzard's Horrifying Scandal" is the phrase the outlet used in its August 11 headline. What the scandal consists of specifically is not detailed in the available signal, and no independent sourcing on the underlying Blizzard matter is available at this time. What is documented is that Asmongold commented on it, and that mshale.com judged the combination of his name and the word "horrifying" sufficient to move a story.

The timing matters as context if not as causation. Asmongold spent the week of August 7 defending border-crossing comments that Twitch found sufficient grounds for a two-week suspension, disclosing a health scare, alleging that Twitch was "straight up lying" about the circumstances of his ban, and calling on platforms to permanently remove users who advocate violence. That is the week preceding this gaming commentary. Whether his audience is treating the Blizzard and Ubisoft takes as a return to normal programming or as a continuation of a broader combative posture is not something the available signal establishes.

What the record does show is that two separate outlets covered Asmongold gaming-industry commentary within a 24-hour window while his main channel stayed dark, and that both pieces framed his takes as newsworthy independent of the ban saga still running in parallel.

What happens next: the Twitch appeal Asmongold announced on August 8 has no public resolution date. The specific Blizzard scandal he referenced has not been identified in available sourcing. Whether either gaming commentary piece circulates further on r/LivestreamFail or draws responses from other creators remains to be seen.
