During a Twitch stream, Zack “Asmongold” looked at the statistics of the most talked-about games on Twitter. He was visibly surprised by the figures of Genshin Impact compared to Final Fantasy XIV and other games.
The “Best MMORPG Streamer” on Twitch found a statistic in his own subreddit that showed the top 10 of games. The data revealed how many tweets and retweets there were for each game.
You can view the statistics in this reddit post:
What did Asmongold say about it? The streamer was quite astonished when he saw that Genshin Impact had been able to gather more than double the number of retweets as the MMORPG classic Final Fantasy XIV. He could only utter a surprised “Oh my God” (via YouTube).
He then discovered that Elden Ring only holds 5th place on the list, and World of Warcraft isn’t represented at all. “Is Genshin really that powerful? Is it really that big on Twitter?” he asked his viewers and had an intriguing idea.
Asmongold tests Genshin Impact’s power on Twitter
What did the streamer do? To test how strong Genshin Impact really is on Twitter, he himself wrote a tweet regarding the game. He just typed the title and sent the tweet. Asmongold stared at the post: “That was 2 seconds and it has 47 likes. That was 5 seconds and it has 200 likes. What? What? Why? What is this?”
The streamer acknowledged the “power” of Genshin Impact and then mentioned that he might eventually give the game a try. Previously, he had always avoided it because he was bothered by the Pay2Win aspect and the microtransactions.
For comparison, a few days later he posted a tweet with “Final Fantasy 14”; so far it has garnered 532 retweets and 9,429 likes. “Genshin Impact” has until now 1,163 retweets and 22,696 likes, so the numbers reflect the statistics very well.
Whether Asmongold will really try Genshin Impact is still unclear, but he sees the potential behind it and may eventually stream it in the future.
