Asmongold “so done” as he considers six-month streaming break

Popular streamer Asmongold is courting the idea of an extended streaming hiatus, citing issues like his father’s declining health and the pressure to broadcast constantly as reasons for stepping back.

Asmongold has become a household name in the streaming space over the last few years, transitioning from a gaming-focused World of Warcraft personality to a political commentator who’s even earned parodies of himself on major Netflix shows.

However, fame comes with a price, as he discussed in an August 2025 livestream while watching a video from fellow influencer Tectone.

Asmongold says he’s “fried” from streaming obligations

In the video, Tectone reacted to a previous clip from Asmongold’s channel, where Asmon claimed he was “fried” from his near-constant streaming schedule and handling his father’s medical appointments.

As a result, he claimed he was considering taking a six-month break from streaming — something Asmon confirmed in his response to Tectone, although he admitted that nothing has been set in stone just yet.

“It’s not something I’ve entirely decided on, but I’m being pulled in a lot of different directions,” he explained. “…I have no idea what’s gonna happen. For me, there’s a lot of fatigue that sets in.

“I was a caretaker for my mom from ages 23-31. Now, I’m 35, and I have to help my dad with a bunch of stuff, too, and I’m gonna have to help him a lot more. I hope that he will get better, but in getting better, he will also age over time, which will require more help from me.

“It’s hard to manage everything.”

Ultimately, Asmongold hasn’t committed to a break nor a time period when he would temporarily step away from streaming, but viewers are encouraging him to spend time with his father during this difficult period of life.

While some suggested he hire an in-home caretaker, Asmongold insisted that his father wanted his help because he was his son — something many viewers are supportive of.

“Zack, be with your dad! We will be here when you are ready to come back. If you don’t do this, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. Trust me,” one wrote.

“Bro, if your dad likes camping in a cabin in the woods, go do that. If your dad would like to go fishing, go do that. …Hit that bucket list for the both of you, regardless of what may or may not happen,” another advised.
