Asmongold comments on the website tracking streamers playing Hogwarts Legacy gets allegedly shut down

During the initial moments of his February 8 livestream, Asmongold was browsing his official subreddit when he came across a post by Redditor u/AdNumerous9073 informing the community that the website that was tracking streamers playing Hogwarts Legacy had been shut down.
