I love that he asks for people to respect his opinion immediately after calling their opinion stupid and ludicrous.
LUDAA
And what's funny is that dsp now doesn't like that game company give free games to youtubers and earlier.
But it was ok when he got fallout 4 earlier than everyone else remember it's ok whenever dsp does a thing he complains that others do
@@jkdman2007 the dude probably forgot how to communicate with other human beings. And anyone can see that in his interview with Creg and Adam.
(My favourite part was when DSP tried to explain why he doesn't trust Keem because he watched Videos from Keem's detractors and Adam told him "this is rich coming from you, when for 3 past hours of this interview you keep telling us the shit your detractors did to you because of their lies. Do you hear yourself" and DSP replied with "Yes I do"
@@jkdman2007 of course he'll never learn from his mistakes. What he does with Baldur's Gate 3 now he also did it back with his edited videos after his Homefront video became viral most of us will probably keep making more videos like this and take advantage of this and even improve our newer videos but not DSP. DSP stopped and spended all that money for a hotel to watch WWE.
What do we expect from a dude that spended over 5K for a candy crush clone with wrestlers only to just feel good about himself that he's in the top of the leaderboard.
And that's why I stopped playing WWE games 2K literally blocks alt attires and Characters behind a paywall of microtransactions and it's a scummy thing to do especially when you do that in a 150€ game with all the DLC.
Why does Phil even have a suggestion box if he’s going to piss and moan about whatever they’re suggesting 💀
Because its just a time waster. Phil doesn't have content just lots of slop.
For a rational streamer, fair. For Phil it's mildly entertaining. One of the best segments he's come up with in a long time
@@RED_Theory038 true him complaining and being toxic without having any self awareness is “quality Khatent guise”
He's desperate for content
So he can insult people for free and make himself look better.
Damn, phil is just straight up lying throughout this video. Saying he watches kill cams, saying you cant criticize review copies of games, saying he has friends... the list goes on. Also, i think he was prob getting early copies when rambo was working at gamestop.
He's just an innate shill, he cannot realize people criticize games based on review copies all the time.
Phil unknowingly admitted that being polite, professional and non-toxic to get review copies would mean changing his entire personality. He's too real for that, dood! 🤣
"Ill be that man, on the island, sitting alone" " because khet left #teamdivorce" made me spit out my water lmao. Great video, Atlus.
I really appreciate comments that point out the quick little jokes i throw in. they make the whole process a blast to make and im glad some of you enhoy them as much as i do
"You have to be PC about it" - the word that escapes him is professionalism. You should be professional about your criticism. Not just insulting the devs or the game. But actually formulate your grievances. Its so laughable that he is 15 years in the industry and is still incapable of giving valid criticism without immediately throwing out insults. What a joke.
I was thinking the same thing, but the word on my tongue was "tactful". Phil has no idea how to be *constructively* critical, and has even less of an idea about how to do so with tact and focus.
Considering his ”life motto”: quantity over quality, it’s likely he would shill if he had the chance.
He HAS shilled before, look up his bean bag review, and his stream of AC...Odyssey? I think, where he didn't give the game ANY shit unlike the streams immediately before and after. The guy's only against shilling because no one is willing to work with him anymore. If he could do it, he would.
@@sergeantbarrels890 and the gaming chair or whatever it was. He has shilled and would shill if he still could.
He does shill. Constantly.
He shills himself.
It's funny to listen to Dave talk about the days where he "worked hard" to be the first one to get his gameplay uploaded for others to see, but nowadays he looks down on anyone (who isn't him) chasing those day one views.
It's equally hilarious to hear him talk about the days where everyone had to buy the games. That's rich as hell, coming from the guy who hasn't bought a game in the last decade+. All his money is given to him and lately he's even been begging for game codes so he doesn't have to spend any of that donated money on games.
@@jkdman2007he uses it very dishonestly
Read a book called Thanks For the Feedback once, and Phil checks nearly every box on what not to do.
Thats because phil read a book called " Thanks for the money, dummy" lol
Phil's rant here is completely insane. He really thinks that when he whines every time he dies he's being "honest" when he's really just being a bitch who refuses to acknowledge his mistakes.
He’s a soyboy now, he’s not seen hard work in decades. He sits behind a camera and cries daily for his “career”
26:13
The reason he doesn't get early review copies is because he can't. He isnt offered anyway.
Hes already admitted the reason he doesnt get those or sponsorships anymore is because of the detractors ruining it for him. He eventually retconned that into being 'his' choice. But it isnt lol
Phil has played several review copies before, in recent memory he played Mario and Sonic at the Olympics (Tokyo 2020 probably) and he begged for money to play that game even though it was already given to him by this mysterious company, he even dropped that game and called it shit, even though it was a review copy which according to him you can't say that stuff!
When it comes to review copies - 9 times out of 10 you're encouraged to be honest and open with your opinions and thoughts, you don't have to censor yourself and unless they specify that there are missing elements with the early version or parts that should be hidden until the official reveal then you can basically say what you want. If you're purposely making the game look bad and you're talking shit for no real reason then of course you'll be blacklisted in the future, but you can just put your name on a list and companies can contact you / you can request keys whenever you want and it's up to them if they allow it, so once they see "DSPGaming" they'll press "Deny"
Whenever DSP talks about knowing people the literal first thought through my head is always "who? you have no friends and the rest of the internet wouldn't touch you with a 10 foot proverbial pole." If Phil had any legitimate contacts regarding any of the idiocy he spouts, he'd know he's chatting complete crap, but he doesn't, because he doesn't know anyone, and he doesn't know anything.
Pre-stream length is a valid complaint and has been for years. Phil is trying to undermine the credibility of the suggester every time for a reason; Doing a shorter pre-stream means less of the cult mentality, the soap box standing and the flipping and spinning of things to suit his narrative. And ironically, it would also result in making more actual content.
All of those things are some of the most toxic element in Phil's streams, but also his own personal therapy session/hostility session. He doesn't want it to change.
He can't even reduce the time spent on the podcast by 30 minutes. He can't give in and lament that he might be wrong about something. Dark's pride is too powerful at this point. Does he really think he;s interesting enough to justify a Q&A section every single day? The only questions he even answers are about food. Anything else he's asked he just says "Ahh I'd have to think about it. I don't know dude, I'd have to think about it." Then just skips answering. Questions that are legit just his opinion. How wild is that?
His suggestion box segments always make me die laughing. His chewing water is literally so weird to me I can’t get over it
Same on both accounts
He aint chewing water he is swishing gin.
The best way to generally describe Phil is “IGNORANT” one word says it all
Also, he NEVER watched kill cams. So his example is already stupid.
His "refusal" to receive promo copies is a smokescreen for the fact nobody would give him one. It's about as admirable as a gambling addict "giving up gambling" when they're banned from every casino in the region.
His rant about review copies is thrown out by one simple fact: he HAS gotten review copies in the past. I believe it was some Sonic/Mario Olympic game. He admitted he got it as a review copy. So he knows how the system works because HE USED TO GET THE COPIES. And he is making up so much to make himself seem superior because nobody will give him review codes anymore. It's the same reason he doesn't have sponsors. It isn't that he rejects them. It's nobody wants HIM. But he can't accept that, so he's fashioned in his mind an explanation where he is perfect and it's him against the world that hates him. What a joke.
The part that gets me is where he mentions cahtent creators having to bite their tongue. Sure but isn't that normal behavior? If something gets me angry I do not instantly lash out, I control myself. If you are frustrated and lash out instantly you are behaving like a child.
It would be an extremely safe bet to say that we can expect this donated game beg to continue in the near future for any game that he's ahn the fence about/doesn't wanna spend the money on and that he knows the dents wanna see him play (for whatever strange reason)
Suggestion Box is my favorite. You nailed it the mental gymnastics is fantastic! Dude is world class.
I think it's safe to say Philip has been flagged and none of those 3rd party PR companies will respond to his emails. He has been told that his "criticism" is toxic so now the review copy system is toxic.
"Him and his mo.. wife"
Nice slip there Atlus 😂😂
This is Phil arguing that he should be allowed to be juvenile vs professional.
There are plenty of people that not only get early review copies but are ambassadors for a particular game that will be negative about the product.
The difference is saying something is bad in an analytical way or simply saying something is shit without thinking about it while shitting on anyone involved.
I've not watched Jim Sterling in ages but I remember back when I watched The Jimqusition, Jim stated that review embargoes were more in place so no reviewer could get a "head start" by dropping their review early. Every reviewer would have to drop their review on the same day, because if person A drops it three days prior, no one would care for the opinion of B to Z. I could be mistaken, but I've always thought it was to level the playing field, bar situations where companies have used the embargo to silence negative criticism.
Just goes to show how important the personality of the streamer is. Or, Jim Sterlings fans at the time weren't tuning in for Jim Sterling.
iirc the embargo also serves to "preserve" hype: the hype for the game may be dead by the time of the release if reviews come too early.
@@bluesandman7566 That makes a lot of sense as well. It has been a while since I watched Jim's content, especially earlier ones (that may have even predated the Digital Homicide drama) so if I'm getting confused/misquoting what was said then I stand corrected.
maximum toxicity coming at ya hard
Mein brother, thou art banned banned banned!
GONE FOREVER!
Give us this day our daily Bookkeeper.
Bookkeeper brother if you have an issue with my standard comment or it bothers you please let me know & I'll figure out another fun comment.
@@Nathan_Coley lmao I think it's a fun addition to the comment section. I doubt Atlus would care, he seems like a pretty chill and robust dood!
@@nugzmedallion8929 I'm glad others enjoy it, that's what I wanted. It's fun for me to type out instead of that "1st" stuff you see in other's comments & fun for others including Atlus to look for in the comments. 🤣
Phil genuinely doesnt realize how bad he is at games
His street fighter cope isnt even funny anymore its just pathetic
I never understood why he does this bs about his pride in not being a shill when it's because he doesn't have the ability to because no company likes him. It's like bragging to someone that you chose to not go to some big deal person's party last night when you weren't invited in the first place. He keeps changing things to both be his detractor's fault that he can't do some things, but also wants it to be his choice why he doesn't do it.
What Phil says isn't even true. Yes there are publisher that bury you under a flood of NDA's. Halo Infinite was a good example. Some content creator came out later and admitted how pressured they were by Microsoft.
But this is usually not the case anymore. More developer's want content creator to feature their games without any restrictions. I bought tons of games, mostly indie and AA, I saw on streams of content creators I enjoy.
I would shit 6 rainbow bricks if DSP went an entire day without talking about money.
He really is the most transparent streamer on RUclips.
50:45 Goalpost. The other day and many times prior he went up and down about him being a variety streamer means he isn’t playing just one game. Now when his podcast is getting criticized he explicitly broadens his definition to include it. It’s not just the games now, he’s dipping his toes into everything. He can’t just do games dood what if ALL OF GAMING were to be banned from the internet? He’d have nothing left to fall back on. Amazing
DSP has just too much integrity for review copies. He cares about fairness too much. He cares about honesty too much. He cares about his audience too much.
36:43 I swear to Zeus that Phil is going to give me an aneurysm from sheer stupidity
Hey, dood, be fair! He was kind of decent at street fighter back in the 1940s!
I feel for you phil. Im hitting 51. I've been working manual labour for 36yrs. Hope your fingers are ok.
Just dig the hole, hole digger /s
The day dsp cant play games anymore will be the day the world looses nothing of value.
It’s really like watching a lil boy try and tell you “no I really do have a superpower and it’s better than anyone’s in history. Now allow me to explain”
If he was smart he’d rebrand his “Suggestion Box” segments as “The people that help me pay my rent give fair and reasonable feedback and I egotistically roast them while ignoring anything that could positively influence me or my channel” I think if he marketed it like that people would at least respect the self awareness. He literally just immediately denies, discredits, and insults everything his fans took time out of their day to say.
"Let's talk about the pros and cons of review copies"
>Creature who vehemently railed against review copies, calling creators who acquire or review the games "shills" and suggesting journalism and review copy "practices" are killing gaming
I love when DSP uses his Meaningful Business Degree to spout half-truths about things he doesn't relatively understand.
I agree that any blatant shilling or journo ass-kissing is the worst part of "Gaming Inc" but Phil acting like he wouldnt jump at the chance to make virtually free money while acting like his hard work got him a review copy is laughable.
Phil is upstairs literally crying right now because he probably has his name on every review request form ever.
Why even have a suggestion box if you're gonna say no to all of them?🐷
I wish during his daily Q&A they would just start asking pointless questions like "why do they call it a loveseat and not a louch or little couch?" or "what color is a mirror?" or "when did they start calling dirigibles blimps?" and just watch him flip his shit.
He's only shitting on review copies and people that accept them because he fumbled the bag with the ones he was given. Remember his Mario and Sonic at the Olympics review? That was a review copy and he relentlessly shat on the game and refuse to play it
Divorced or not, Dave is on his own little island. He's talking to a coconut pretending its his dents.
4:00 this scenario would never happen
Der Pigler never watches the killcams lmao
While I always am of the mindset to try a game out for myself and see what I think of it, I always listen to or watch game reviews if games I’m interested in. Mostly to get a better grasp of what the game is like but also to see what other people think of said game/s.
I think more so now since games have become more expensive and many have lost quality. I can’t but games upon release and if it’s a game I get a bad vibe from, I pass on that. If it’s a game I still have interest in, I wait for it to be on sale.
In the end, I do think reviews can be helpful. Maybe it’s not something everyone is into but it’s there for those who want or need it, of which I’m grateful for. 🙂
I like how it's now become a "talk show" because he can't understand that a lot of people don't want to sit through over an hour of him talking about nothing
The real reason why DSP doesn’t get game review copies early isn’t because he doesn’t wanna butter up the developers. It’s because nobody wants anything to do with DSP. DSP is simply bad for business. How many times a week do viewers gotta hear the world’s smallest violin 🎻 play whenever DSP talks like this? He thinks people actually care. Ehh except the dents that do believe his bullsh*t.
What Phil is trying to describe at the start is a phenomenon called “Access Journalism,” which is definitely a problem in the entertainment industry… But that’s not the problem HE is having. Journalists like TotalBiscuit, Stephanie Sterling, and Jason Schreier got blacklisted for calling out harmful industry practices. Phil got blacklisted for his bad attitude. They are not the same.
I don't know why he's so "I'm not kissing any game developers butt!" Rewatch his fallout 4 playthrough he constantly states how great Bethesda is. DSP would absolutely kiss any developers ass if they gave him a free game. Hell CD project could've given him cyberpunk on its horrific launch, and he would've sang about how great the game is. DSP is a shill through and through, but he can only shill for himself because no one else will touch him.
I remember the review embargo for Cyberpunk 2077. They allowed people to play early and say what they wanted. They just said you can't stream or record game play, but you can use promotional videos.
It's amazing that in the same sentence he called other content creators 'rubes' and idiots for going into drama/political content, and then said he's not there yet, maybe in the future.
Trends and topic are only for idiots up until DSP starts doing them, then they are meaningful. Minecraft, Reacting, Capture cards, editing....
What’s funny is Dsp wants to do chill streams so why not do early copy streams and just chill he doesn’t have to talk about the game and can interact with chat.
1 week, it's " I refuse to put ads on my streams. I'm not a shill. " ahd the heat week, it's " I can't het sponsorships because of the detractors"
It’s “immoral” to play a video game early? All I’m hearing is salt and cope because other folks get these opportunities and he doesn’t.
In all my time playing games, I've only gotten two advanced copies of games while I was doing freelance for a small website. He's right about contacting the PR firm as I had to do the same for Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments and LEGO The Hobbit but if I remember correctly, those firms didn't attach any restrictions for said reviews but I enjoyed both games so I obviously reviewed them positively. You're right on the fact that Phil would rather have his dents give him the games than make an effort to reach out to PR firms to get games for free.
Remember this is DSP. This is the guy who had one, "ONE", UNO! bad experience at walmart. Then talks about how walmart is the most evil company on the planet and refuses to ever shop there. And that bad experience was just the fact it took 2 hours to find his joystick, which I dont see the problem as it probably takes phil on average 2 hours to find his "joystick" anyways. So he should be use to it.
Even better this is the guy who has blamed the trolls for YEARS on why he cant get review copies and the such, now he tells them its because he has to censor himself.
To point out something. Phil isnt even close to the most prolific youtuber. He isnt even on the top 50.
_"I'm too old to play video games."_
Skyrim Grandma says; _"Hold my beer."_
Dave should wear powdered wigs and make declarations. That....would truly save the business..
Surprised no one's brought up how intense the cult speak was with the review copy segment. Especially almost /yelling/ about how people should not and cannot trust the RUclipsrs/streamers they enjoy, but Phil is the only trustworthy person because he's true, honest, and not a "schmoozer". It's really mortifying to watch outside of anyone providing commentary on it.
I've had a really hard time watching Phil recently. It's tough to watch a guy who's only commentary or acknowledgement to his audience is a continuous attempt to manipulate them into seeing his victimhood or hating those that aren't Phil/oppose Phil's ideals. I cannot imagine being in a room with him. Even with the comfort of a screen being a barrier between an audience and the guy, he's almost suffocating with the way he talks to and about his audience.
The cult speak has been really bad as of late. Now that you mention it its very obvious but while making the vid it didnt even cross my mind cause its just normal dsp speak at this point
lmaoooooooooo his example of why he doesnt like review copies is so cooked
12:33 and here comes DSP the great moralist riding atop his high horse
Phil gets upset no matter what game he plays, as he hates video-games. A lot of times he looks bored out of his mind. When it comes to blaming the game, he has no spatial awareness at all. How many times in a FromSoftware game like "Bloodborne" or "Dark Souls" he fights an boss, backs to a corner and then gets killed? Too many times. He then blames the game and insults developers because his dumbass backed into a corner and therefore made an mistake.
Why does he talk about game reviewers chasing day one views when he's willing to literally refuse to play entire games that his chat is asking for in order to maximize day one views on new releases? Absolutely no self awareness.
Honestly this guy makes me angrier and angrier every day. I don't know how long I can keep up with the detractorverse at this point.
No shame in a break brother. everyone whos in long enough has to remove themselves every so often.
Let's say, for example, You get a review copy of Mario and Sonic at the Olympics for the Wii, wait until the games release to play it and quit after an hour and then when your viewers state you wasted $60, You laugh at them and THEN claim it was a review copy.
With the day before just having landed....
Ya there needs to be more "toxicity" lol
Nah, there was [plenty of cases that Phill got early review copies no problem. He doesn't do now due to his lack of opportunity not because he wants to stand his ground. Most devs already knows how toxic Phil is against devs when he is playing and losing in a videogame.
I'd like to point out to Mr I'm not a shill refusing a copy of bg3 from the resident racist in his chat Candian Kirk, before bg3 won goty. But had no problem begging for the game and wanting to play it after it won goty
He's gotten review copies in the past. He doesn't disclose that information ahead of time
24:24 I'll translate and contextualize this for you. Back when he was with Machinima, he'd rush every single game and jump to the next to get day 1 views. That's it. Review copies only represented an issue to him not because of what those reviewers would say about the game, but only because those letsplayers would end up beating him in the race to the day one views.
19:34 and here we go with the "good ole boys club" excuse
@25:57 the reason DSP doesn't get early copies is because any publisher that did would get attacked mercilessly, and lets be honest Phil doesn't play games off stream so it doesn't matter if he got it early if he is under embargo. Also getting a game early would require work and like you said Phil knows a dent will buy it for him anyway. He is doing what he always does which is trying to pretend that his sloth is actually a virtue.
Darksydephil is not here by his own choice. He is here because he does not have a choice.
I just noticed, but... why the fuck does he have some weird plushes on the "decorations" behind him?
Probably his wife's suggestion and he's smart enough not to disagree with her
The dents love it, it time plushes
Phil is such a coward
He will talk so much shit about other streamers/RUclipsrs but will never actually drop any names.
Also I love he admitted that Kat would rather watch other streamers then him
Best part of the day when an Atlus Vid comes out 👊
50:12 ok, so couple things here. First off: Phil, if you feel so strongly about the podcast, you can find a happy medium. Instead of an hour and a half, cut it in half to 45 minutes a day. Then you make EVERYONE happy, and you'll likely give less for your detractors to make about you (doubtful, but possible).
Secondly, Phil, you won't have the worry about having to pick a side on an issue. Because we already know whay will happen: you will have a stance, and everyone in chat either has to agree with you, shut up, or get banned. You can't handle contrary viewpoints, so the show you're describing will not exist. It'll be Phil Says, and anyone who feels differently is wrong, because Phil is the smartest, greatest man in the world with the absolute best hair. Sound good? Sounds good to me too. And by the way, Kat agrees.
Review embargo exists as a simple quick testing ground for the devs to the reviews and check what issue that is severe so they can fix it since games are getting really big by the minute.
Also the NDA exists for people who are -tards like phil because he runs his mouth like no tomorrow + an insurance if they really did spilled the beans so they will legally fuck them over financially ( phils weakness) and how big companies are nowdays they will ask for at least 6-7 figures minimum.
And let's be honest no company wants to deal with PHIL because he is a RISK for your company to sponser.
Didn't Phil get review copies back in the day? I think he did, but now nobody wants to fuck with him. So it's not that he CHOOSES to not get review copies, it's likely he CANNOT get review copies. like everything else, he lies to himself to protect his glass-made ego.
God i hate that he has to smack after just drinking "water"
These suggestion box segments bring the absolute worst out of him don't they? He is just sitting there coping about why he won't be remembered fondly.... cause you are a genuinely not nice guy. Why companies won't work with you. because it's one thing to say a game is bad but to get angry at the devs. Being PC isn't about just being nice and holding your tongue. But he has to cope cause it's easier to be the man alone on his island who will only be remembered as a joke. Not fondly. He needs to get over that. He screwed it up and refuses to move on or admit he is not cut out for this.
Every day he edges closer to legit schitzophrenia. t's showing bad when he has to cope this hard just to avoid admitting he is the problem in his life.
Phil, you absolutely are a Masterclass..... in "Catastrophic Gameplay, in Everything". You are the King. You've 100% earned that my friend.
Since Phil knows everything... why take suggestions? He is obviously so smart he has thought of EVERYTHING previously and made the smartest decision ever... oh, and he thinks you're a moron half the time.
Thank you for a good Quality Roasting.. 😁👌
23:43 This just seems like an example of sour grapes to me I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Phil was actually jealous that these other streamers get review codes and he's just ranting at this point
It's not fair because he's not benefiting from it. Also, getting himself on the list is too much work, they should be the ones reaching out to him.
In the first 5 seconds, he's wrong lol. Plenty streamers just get emails offering them early access or review codes. How the fuck does somebody doing this for 15 years not even know this and I do?
Worth A Buy gets review copies... and Mack is as hard on games and devs as anyone can be.
But its pertinent honest criticism, not a toxic tirade laden with hyperbole and insults.
God forbid DSP have to make any effort at all to do anything that would benefit his channel and expand his brand.
Its easier to complain, beg and throw blame outward.
He is terrified of success because it would mean he has to continue being successful. If people thought hebwas doing well... even though he constantly insists he is... they wouldn't be so easy to manipulate into giving him pity money.
3:20 THE FOOL'S SIP!!!!
It's so interesting to watch him justify his miserable existence. No advertiser or company would ever want to be associated with him, so he spins a tale about how he would have to compromise his principles if he accepted a sponsorship. Lol. Gwet Frucked, Dave. He's so detached from reality. And then when people are nice enough give him advice on how he could improve the thing he chose to do as a career he sticks his fingers in his ears and ignores them. Dave, this is your job. You picked it. Why wouldn't you at least TRY to be more successful at it??
Phil's "only positive comments" is I BELIEVE in reference to one of two things. 1. Machinima's Xbox controversy where Machinima partners were offered money for only reviewing the xbone in a positive light. or 2. I believe the game was Shadow of Mordor requiring only positive games reviews for early review copy. I think Ubisoft also did this with one of the Assassins Creed games but I cant be certain on that particular game.
TotalBiscuit did a video about 8 years ago now about objectivity in games review and while dated, it does address the issue that Phil seems to have with early video game copies as well as objectivity in games reviews. I think Angry Joe and Jim Sterling also had takes on objectivity in games reviews as well as youtubers being blacklisted from early review copies for having negative reviews and all of this was around the same time of gamergate, and when videos on youtube were beginning to overtake traditional games media (websites and magazines)
The problem with Phil's take is for all of the hell that gamergate did to the online landscape, it actually did a lot of good for games journalism and disclosure of compensated reviews or only giving positive reviews in exchange for early review copy. These days gamers are more than happy to reveal shady contracts requiring only positive reviews. Yes, those sketchy reviews and promotions and undisclosed ads will still be out there, but you also have gamers more than willing to disclose.
Phil is still living back 10 years ago when these practices were still around as his excuse for not doing either sponsored content or for getting on a PR list. The reality is Phil is likely blacklisted from most PR except for the most sketchy. His behaviours of the past have branded him as a loose cannon who jerks off on stream and says racist and homophobic slurs with a lot of trolls who will negate any positivity of having Phil be a marketing piece. Not to mention, a LOT of sponsorship campaigns require a certain number of views and a lot of them require a certain amount of clickthrough on their ads and others require a certain conversion rate (ie people buying stuff). Many will require a certain ad copy to be read for a sponsorship. Early games copies usually have a requirement of time spent playing their game. In order to apply for either an early game copy or a sponsorship, you need to show proof of your videos performance. Show proof you stream to X amount of people in a day. Show proof that your videos have X amount of views. Phil just doesnt have the reach to overcome the negativity surrounding him.
made me snort!
lol. thanks for the 2 brother 🙏
30:00 That also includes his 4th place at EVO. Ask him to play an online tourney he won't even give admission fee.
His issue with getting review copies is he cant follow basic contract rules like respect other players, don't use slurs or harmful language in your playthrough he tends to drop the r slur especially in cod, and has to be done between x and y days. Plus he can't even figure out tutorials or aoe attacks that are clearly animated the world is better off if people aren't seeing his review copy videos
Hey phil have you tried using review copies to save some money?
30 minute rant about why he cant do that because he wants to call the developers every slur he can raxx out in 20 seconds
