WWE Champions General - Despite his claims, DSP is still spending thousands of dollars on the WWE Champions mobile game

@TJGamebox

Thank you for what you do, I know it's been taxing, but I had a question.
Have you ever thought of maybe working with with @Piece of Peace and making a doc with how much he spends on these?
Or if you have it already and it's posted somewhere I'd love to look at it.

It would be an easy doc to make, just take all the money he makes on stream and add it. We all know that money isn't going where else and we have the proof of that.

What's the largest amount he's spent on this game in a single day?

According to the bank leaks $3,583.95 on April 6, 2020 (his 38th birthday). No I didn't misplace the decimal point.

that was the NWO Hogan release

 

[Piece of Peace]

I can easily create a summary sheet to track the minimum spend amounts for particular events if those numbers existed still existed

Good fucking lord. Identity theft is no joke.

For context, this is close to 3x the monthly minimum wage, that was spent by one man, in one day, on some pixels.

It is also an adequate budget for a couple to have a 7 day long vacation in Japan. If only Phil had some kind of event immediately after his birthday to celebrate with his wife...

I almost wonder if that was an intentional (and successful) attempt to hook a whale on Scopely's part.

If I were the CEO, I'd have a dedicated analyst do OSINT on the whales and perform statistical analysis so we could release specific wrestlers at specific times for maximum profit. It's obviously well worth the investment for relatively little cost.

The funny thing is, they are likely already doing it to some extent. But I can dream that there is one specific handler dedicated to Phil who has to sit through all the shenanigans and eventually writes a thesis.

Shocking that some obsessed internet trolls would hack into his bank account just to spend it all on sweaty man jpegs for the WWEC account of a, completely uninvolved, 3rd party who just randomly had the same handle as DSP. Devious! They try everything to make it look like DSP himself is a gambling addict.

For some additional perspective, Phil could've acquired a giant cast metal gundam model to become the centerpiece of his collection, which is something you could actually picture him doing.

Instead he competed with other losers for fake internet points, and forced upon himself the stress of having to lie forever about his money, his hobbies, his free time, his relationship with his wife, etc. etc.

I'm willing to bet he thinks more about the embarrassment than about being exposed as a scammer. Doesn't matter, though, he knows he's both.

The birthday transaction spike was a nice touch. As was not stealing the money outright but just spending it slowly on itunes and paypal. Its comforting to know elite NSA hackers are people just like us and for some reason care more about memes about some obscure fat streamer in some corner of the internet and surf kiwifarms obsessively than what elite level hackers able to crack open the security of major banks are supposed to care about.

imagine something so central to your life that you pour so much time sweat and treasure into and you locked yourself into not being able to talk about it, brag, or make money on it at all.

I know right! Imagine you were living paycheck to paycheck with barely any money in your account, and someone steals your identity and uses it to spend nearly $3600 IN ONE DAY on a mobile game. And you didn't even notice the money was gone because, um, because!

Those damn dirty detractors, always making Phil spend every penny he has and ruining his life.

And dont forgot that he had to spend THOUSANDS on lawyers to get this fixed, and now he is in the hole financially because of it.

The same high price lawyers also told Phil to not mention it on stream...

Please tip...

Even worse is that he has had to make up a narrative about fraud in order to keep Katherine from strangling him. A long time ago, I thought it was a paniced response, aimed at his fans, that he would surely later memory-hole. It was very odd to me that he didn't try the old "It's all made up" lie, and it has been even more surprising to see him keep the fraud narrative going. He even leaned into the ridiculous amount of money that that would've had him losing if it were true, despite it exposing him as a liar about how tight his finances are.

Phil is trying to placate somebody here, and it isn't the people giving him money. We're way past the point where it makes any sense to worry about them finally figuring out that he's a gigantic liar, and/or actually giving a shit. And besides that, it never made any sense to take such a risk by inviting more questions with the kind of lie Phil chose to address the bank leaks with. I said it back then, and I stand by it today: the best response was to state that detractors were fabricating a breach, and that none of the information was real. He did that with the Discord leak that exposed him as being NotDSP.

Someone is preventing Phil from getting away with that option. Someone he can't run from, mute, or simply cut loose from his life like he did with his parents after they noticed how bad he is with money. Not saying this will lead to a divorce arc, but that the fear of it is what keeps the fraud lie going. Kat knows about the leaks, and she didn't just disregard them, she asked Phil about them, and he went right to the lie I would expect him to in such a confrontation.

No wonder he calls her "mom", Kat is better at that role than Linda, thanks to how fucking warped his brain is.

You presume these companies don't do in-depth research on what gets people to spend. Pretty much every gacha game has something to tickle the endorphins when you draw a character. Arknights has a rainbow explosion when you pull a 6* and a big fire explosion for a 5* but then light glows for 4* and below. Bleach Brave Souls has a whole little cutscene for 5* but nothing for any other rarity. Girls Frontline has a star imprint thing when you get a T-Doll.

It's like the flashing lights and sounds at a slot machine. It's designed to hit all the little buttons in our brains that respond to this kind of stimuli.

Oh it's obvious they do general, wide area tactics. But I wonder how much more you can eek out of a whale if they were specifically targeted.

 

[TheTractor]

He's been taking ''emails'' and going to the toilets an awefull lot without even bothering to put a pre streams cover, just an empty chair.

Bills bills bills that I have to pull pull pull.

Are you claiming that Khat isn't already well aware of his gacha addiction and absurd spending habits?
Because that would presuppose that at no point during their marriage of 2,5 years has Khat shown any (serious) interest in his income and expenditures (including during his bankruptcy),and that she hasn't watched or heard of any of the detractior content where Phil is being exposed as a wastrel mobile game addict.

If Kat learned of the bank leaks somehow, and asked Phil about them, then she did indeed ignore a lot up until that point, which is not inconceivable. Phil clearly doesn't tell her they're poor, she just doesn't know HOW not poor they are.

I just don't see any other explanation for him to continue this fraud narrative when it was always a bad idea, and never HAD to be done. Phil is dead-to-rights in so many other ways and he doesn't bother going to that extent to try defending himself. Why here? Why must he go this route and stick with it, harp on it so much when he's raising even more questions he doesn't want to answer?

Because it's what he told the one person in his life who he can't run from or cut loose. He gladly settles for being dismissive and vague with pretty much everything else, including shit he's just as fucked by. The leaks are an exception because his wife knows about them.
