Summary
Twitchstreamer Asmongold has walked away from gaming and entertainment company One True King (OTK) after nearly four years with the organization. OTK started in 2020 withTwitchpersonality Asmongold and other big streamers joining up, eventually growing into a name people knew in the gaming and streaming scene.
However, things gotmessy between Asmongold and OTKin October 2024 when he took flak for things he said about Palestinians while streaming. After the pushback, his alt Twitch account, ZackRawrr, got banned fast. The next day, he put up a YouTube video apologizing for what he’d said to everyone. In that video, Asmongold also told fans he was stepping back from his leadership jobs at OTK and Starforge Systems, a company that makes gaming PCs. He said it was about owning up to his mistakes and trying to be a better person moving forward.
Asmongold Reveals Reason for Leaving OTK
Another reason why Asmongold left was his desire not to drag others down with his contentious content. He said the split with OTK was a two-way deal, but even if it wasn’t, he’d still be fine with it. It is worth noting that Asmongold is not the only one who’s left the organization lately, as Twitch streamerTectone put out word in November that he was done with OTK.
Asmongold walking away hits OTK hard since he has over 3.5 million followers on his main Twitch channel, but it might pay off for them down the road. Content that stirs up trouble can mess with a brand, and him stepping back could keep some of that heat off the group. For example, Asmongold’s name popped up recently when he got into an online spat with billionaire Elon Musk. It kicked off afterAsmongold said he’d stream on Twitter for a full year if Muskcould prove he’d legitimately hit level 97 inPath of Exile 2.
