The reason Asmon was so immensely wrong about Avowed hitting 50k players

(I love you asmon)

But as someone in chat mentioned, the fact that Asmon spent the past 20 years playing WoW (and missing out on actually great RPGs) was the reason he misread the Avowed situation so badly.

• Asmon has never played the Mass Effect trilogy.
• Asmon has never played Dragon Age Origins.
• Asmon never played Chrono Trigger or the original pixel FF games
• Asmon has never played Nier Automata or RDR 1-2
• etc, etc, etc

This is why Asmon sees dogsh*t and he thinks it's passable. That's why he gave Veilguard a 6 - if he was a Dragon Age fan, he would have given it a 2.

It's not because he's dumb or disingenuous, he's clearly not. It's because he has no frame of reference.
