In gaming terms, Among Us may be a late bloomer, but boy, did it bloom. Two years ago, when it first released, Among Us seemed destined for the humble life of a moderately popular niche game, living out its days in the service of a small but dedicated player base. And then this happened.
Among Us – Can You STILL Get These Cosmicubes?? (Sort Of)
Massive Twitch streamers discovered that as great as the game is, Among Us is just as good, if not better, on TV. Streamers started picking up Among Us, audiences got caught up in the high-stakes drama and friendships, and in just a few months, the game that had seemed content to live out its life in a quiet corner of the Steam store became a world-shaking star.
It also helps that Among Us is completely free on mobile, supported only by cosmetic purchases. Cosmetics like the Among Us crown that everyone seems to want. Why? Because it’s a crown, of course! It’s shiny, it’s pointy, it sits on your head, and it signals to everyone your absolute, unquestionable right to rule over all those less than you.
And what murderous, conniving, shape-shifting psychopath wouldn't want that? But how do you get the crown in Among Us?
