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

[lavrentiyberia]

The guy with the long beard released a new WWE Champions gameplay video yesterday. I watched it and still don't understand this game and how anyone would spend 50k to play.

I timestamped it to start with the "gameplay"

If you're playing this game for free, the game is not interested in you. Maybe there are tons of gacha games out there that are designed to hook random dumbasses off the street into becoming problem gamblers, WWE Champions isn't one of them. This one is for people who are already deeply into their addiction, nearing the breaking point. I say that for a couple reasons:

• The game doesn't even attempt to be addictive for someone playing for free. There is literally nothing for me to do apart from 5 minutes every night when the challenges get refreshed, my wrestlers are too tired to play anymore, and there are no benefits to playing more than that, in terms of winning levelling up material.
• For someone who has never spent money on a mobile game, the prices for getting to the level the guy in the video is at, let alone NotPhil, will seem like a bad joke. They make no attempt at ‘intro offers’ or anything else to soften the blow of what the game expects you to spend in order to become a dedicated player. Here are some examples:

The game is offering me a Seth Rollins goodie bag, $25 for a wrestler the game already gave me, and tiny amounts of various currencies. All of that together will bring you maybe a quarter of the way to levelling up Seth Rollins. If that's what you're interested in, you will save maybe a week in a month-long process. Right now my Seth Rollins has a move that can change the color of 3 gems, which lets me know that to get to the point where the guy in the video is at, I would have to level him up at least 6 more times. You can start to see the money getting out of control very quickly, but this is the cheapest thing offered on my home screen right now…

Let's look at how to get new wrestlers. NotPhil has 200-something wrestlers, nearly the entire cast of the game.
There are only 7 wrestlers being offered right now, and the process for getting even one of them will likely cost around one year of your child's tuition to state university.

Here's Sgt. Slaughter. I have zero coins that fit into his slot machine, a slot machine that gives you a 1:??? chance at winning him. What is the lowest price I can pay to get a coin?

$123.40, for 16 coins.

But what about the other wrestlers there, what about The Guy, Shawn Michaels?

Well the game throws you a bone here, you don't have to fuck around with games of chance to get The Guy, all you have to do is sign up for a monthly $57.32 payment for access to the weakest possible version (‘bronze’) of Michaels, and as a bonus you get some trinkets that aren't even close to enough to level him up.

I took a bunch more screenshots, just of all the ways you can spend money directly from the home screen, but I think that's enough to show how easy it is for these people to spend the way they do, because that's the only way you can spend. This game isn't for Diamond or even Grand Master-level retаrds, it's only for Warlords.

that dx elite pass, you get a free trial and I tried it

the wrestler is so much stronger than anything you start with, you start putting your coins and other mats into him

then one day you go to use him and find out he is locked to that elite pass, you need that fucking pass to play the dude, you just spent near all your shit to level up him up and now he's locked behind that elite pass

spend money or basically you have lost all that progress, that's some real "how to bait whales in mobile games 101"

when this happened, I knew phil fell for the marketing

 

[TheGoutburglar]

I am in utter awe of how diabolical that is. Scopely is more evil than the exaggerated Evil Boss persona of Vince McMahon.

Yeah, I'm convinced at this point. This is what Phil is afraid of: admitting not to the world, but to himself, that he is a complete fucking idiot, and a loser. That's exactly what you have to be to get suckered in by this garbage.

Great breakdown, sir. And this gets way worse once you get further in the game, we've seen Phil brag about spending $100 a pop for the CHANCE at something remotely useful. There's losers on other streams that spend thousands and complain how they got nothing they wanted. That's how it is in this wallet burning "game". Scopely fucks their players raw, they cry and complain, yet keep coming back for more.

This is fucking amazing. Thanks for diving into this, what shady motherfuckers.

Don't worry boys, I found a hacked version of the game that gives you 100% of all gameplay mechanics for free

 

[SojiroSakura]

What, you think phil's a loser who plays games for FREE(Ree)? Nah man he HAS to put money in games. Not his fault! He fell for the marketing scheme and just can't stop himself, that's the game's fault dood!

 

[Spaghet]

At this rate, gonna need to change the title to

Despite his claims, DSP is still spending tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on the WWE Champions mobile game

You forget the part where reccommending an option that doesn't cost tens of thousands of dollars is litterally the same as breaking into his house and murdering his family.

 

[FalsePositive]

40k has always been a conservative estimate because it was only a total of the money needed to spend to get to his VIP level. It didn't include recurring monthly payments of which they offer multiples, nor did it include any other incidental purchases he may have made from time to time.

It also doesn't include ANY whaling since he hit 13. Which we know he's done a lot of.

At least people should stop referring to the 40k he spent since its likely up to 50-60k or even more by now.

 

[lavrentiyberia]

Remember, he said 140k was a ‘half-truth’, which now that I think about it could mean one of two things, 70k or 280k

i don't even like spending $10 on a game during a steam sale. how the fuck can this dipshit blow tens of thousands of dollars on bejewelled. i would seriously kill myself if i was that pathetic

The title already reads like a crime statistic.

Despite being less that 1% of the playerbase and claiming to be in dire straits, Darksydephil funds 99% of WWE Champions microtransactions

money is the last refuge for people without skill or intellect, or those unwilling to get either

 

[Sir Wesley Tailpipe]

Are there not any men in these factions? Seriously, not a single man who just says fuck this, I don't care if we get doxed, we're sticking by our buddy?

This is just pathetic.

You think Phil the oddly-shaped potato has the capacity to make friends?

 

[TurboSwine]

You think Phil the oddly-shaped potato has the capacity to make friends?

Did he ever? I get the feeling Rambo felt kinda bad for him and was just a really good guy. Howard was friends with Rambo and went along for the ride. You know how every group of friends always has that one asshole but he's your asshole I think Phil is the asshole
