Asmongold: WoW Forever Addons Like Journey Are Against TOS? | $100K WoW Forever Tournament

Asmongold reacted to my $100K WoW Forever tournament video on stream and said WoW Forever addons like the $30 Journey addon are "undeniably" against the TOS, then said he's in favor of paid addons because Blizzard doesn't enforce its own rules. This is my response to Asmongold's WoW Forever take, plus who's behind the Journey creator program: Nexus, whose CEO Justin Sacks (EMCL) won OTK's 2022 WoW tournament. I go through Asmongold's take on paid WoW Forever addons, why the Esfand WoW Forever stream I linked for the Journey clips is now private, and what I found on EMCL: his OTK tournament win, his Blizzard World of Warcraft tournament run, and his 2011 Reddit AMA. Journey is sold by Journey Forever LLC, built by TomCat, and creator codes pay out through Nexus. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Asmongold WoW Forever reaction to my $100K WoW Forever tournament video 0:53 WoW Forever addons: the Journey creator program and the Nexus CEO 1:11 Asmongold: WoW Forever addons like Journey are "undeniably" against TOS 2:30 Asmongold on Blizzard not enforcing the WoW TOS 3:26 WoW Forever drama: different rules for streamers 4:04 Asmongold: "I'm totally in favor of paid addons" 5:31 Asmongold on Esfand and the WoW Forever addon backlash 7:07 Asmongold: paid WoW Forever addons are "functionally not a rule" 9:30 Asmongold responds, and my take 11:13 Esfand's WoW Forever stream with the Journey clips is now private 12:49 Nexus CEO Justin Sacks (EMCL) and the Journey creator program 14:22 EMCL won the OTK WoW tournament in 2022 15:23 Justin Sacks interview on his OTK tournament win 16:03 Why wasn't EMCL mentioned at the $100K WoW tournament? 17:01 EMCL on Blizzard's World of Warcraft channel and his 2011 Reddit AMA 18:53 Are paid WoW Forever addons allowed?
