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

[PieceofShet]

I'm sure Phil loathes playing this game. He must look dead inside while playing it.
Phil is always miserable; not only on stream. There's no passion or joy in his life.

He most likely plays it cause it has a lot of pop ups, rewards... can get a lot of more pop ups and rewards if he pays.

I always found fascinating when he plays a game and gets an achievement or trophy, you can hear in his voice he gets excited. Just go back and watch any pt where he gets trophies.

He even looked dead inside while masturbating on stream. It was the most joyless orgasm I've ever seen. Imagine doing shit you hate for people you hate and there's no escape, ever. That's Phil's life. Until it gets even worse. Even after the miracle of getting away with bankruptcy fraud just staved off the inevitable.

But how awesome would it be to watch him rage pout looking for hand holding while his game gets obliterated?

Less awesome and more pitiful than when he usually does that, since at least he didn't dump thousands of dollars into REmake3 before throwing a tantrum and refusing to fight the "puzzle boss" any further until someone told him how to (with money attached).

I'm still amused by that moment, BTW. I love anything that exposes how much he is NOT a gamer, and that one sure does it in fucking spades. I don't care how many hours he sank into Street Fighter back in the day, someone who truly gets video games would not lose their shit over an actual puzzle boss, let alone a so-called one.

It would fall under "Phil outlasted the rope that broke when he tried to hang himself with it"

So both, then.

Or contribute something like how to win without spending as much, but it doesn't seem like that even exists for this game. You either spend money, and lots of it, or you fuck off and get nothing.

Based on what I've seen, it doesn't. It's for the most degenerate of degenerates. It's for pigroaches.

What's funny is that that was four years ago, when he still had Leanna, hadn't yet started whaling out on WWE Champions, and generally wasn't dealing with as much shit. And he still looked fucking miserable. Imagine how he is today, off camera.

Speaking of "until it gets even worse", I wonder what's in store for him next in that regard. My money is on some kind of health issue that he could've caught in time if he ever went to the doctor, and not started drinking so heavily.

After seeing more details on just how predatory WWE Champions is, I don't think there is any way that Phil could have turned it into a positive unless he started streaming the instant he found the game, hit a wall that would take too much money to get over, quit the garbage, and moved on. Which would require that the pigroach not be a pigroach.

Once Phil started whaling out, whether he was lying about it or not, it was going to become a meme that hurt his rep more than it helped his streams, because like @LostMy1stAccount says, it raises all kinds of questions about where his funds from begging really go.

There was a window of time where Phil could have used Champions for his channel. But he probably realized that he couldn't play a game spending thousands a month and still beg 24/7. So he figured it would just his a dirty little secret. Then it swallowed up most of his income. Don't get me wrong, it's not a "nothing I could do!" situation as if he had willpower he could have quit. However, once he denied playing Champions enough times, had no choice but to continue lying about it or look like a bigger fool than usual.

He didn't "realize" anything, he started playing, it sucked him in because the game was made for stupid losers like him, and eventually detractors found out and he did was he always does: lie.

If he started early, he could've funneled his tips directly to the gacha onscreen. He could have had a "Pull Streak" where the paypigs bought him one $100 spin of the roulette wheel every stream. But now it's too late and he's going to have to clown onstream in a vest he hates to achieve the same result.

after the legendary hilarity of the mgs2 playthrough the "redemption" run was one of the most joyless and forced out things i've ever had the misfortune of witnessing, wouldn't phil be so much happier getting himself real work instead of slogging through games he hates for an audience he loathes?

 

[King Daddy Telomerase]

Two, interaction: He's actually knowledgeable about wrestling. His streams would probably be full of shitty trivia that not many people know, every wrestler that would come up Phil would probably have a little known story to share.

Phil knows more about wrestling than the common person, but he's far from an expert. He was correct in not further pursuing a wrestling podcast because it's been saturated for many years with people that eat, sleep and shit wrestling.

Even if Phil didn't clearly hate the idea of a real job just as much as he hates playing video games all day, he couldn't possibly get a real job. The same incompetency that has made him infamous cost him every single job he held until he gave up on a 9-to-5, which was twelve years ago. That includes a job he got through nepotism. I believe he worked customer support at that helicopter plant. Imagine him trying to do that somewhere today, when his attitude, his skills, and his reputation are 100x worse than they were back then. Even if he didn't get a hundred prank calls a day (which he would), it would still be only a matter of time before he fucked up and got fired.

He knows all of this, too. He's stuck where he is, forever.

 

[Wurstbrot]

Quite ironic. Originally Phil described WWE Champions as a huge timewaster, it's not very good, the AI plays unfair. Of all the games he mentioned and rated he stuck with this one. I can only imagine a gambling addiction.

Quite literally.

Spoiler: TMI, or not.

I also play a mobile game since some weeks, which is Dragon City. I can totally see where they want to suck your money and how they accomplish that. I don't collect sweaty wrestlers, I collect cool/cute dragons.
To sum it up: Success is fun, failure is not.
Money buys you success.
And this success eliminates the annoying gambling mechanics.

Those games are designed to loosen your wallet due to various tactics. However I have an actual life and don't measure myself on my performance in a fucking mobile timewaster. Not a single dime got invested and I stay with my politic as I have almost no problem waiting some hours or a day to get my shit done. My faction can suck my balls and I don't have to win every battle.

*Almost? Yes! You can invest gems which are basically money but you get them for free by playing the game. I try to save them for a big upgrade or so, but it's haaaaard to say no. Not hard to say no when money involved, there is a big difference when fingers reach for my wallet.

His masturbation was already scheduled and he fapped on borrowed time, his break was almost over. So he had to wank fast und furious in a business styled fashion, emotionally as if he does his taxes. Phil is an adult, okay.

 

[Sir Wesley Tailpipe]

Who knows could be an even bigger melt down after he thinks he's finally escaped the nigel'ing only for it to continue in full force.

Kind of gives me the mental image of the letter bombing from harry potter, goes to greater and greater lengths to get away then thinks moving to an isolated middle of nowhere island will be more than enough to stop it only to get flooded even harder the second its found and freak the fuck out

Are you 8?

Nobody over the age of 8 making Harry Potter references is anything but retarded.

 

[DiabeticSP]

Food for thought: Phil hates puzzles bosses, because he can't instantly figure them out and win.

Why? Because Phil's main game is a bejeweled for toddlers tier cash sink that he pays to win easily.

How could a 'fair' boss be so challenging for Phil when he plays a 'puzzle' game and constantly wins in one turn by matching red blocks together?

So he knew about this, but went ahead and and wasted a ton of money to get anywhere in the game. Sure seems to be a different tune with how he continues to play it.

So here is info about the newest WWE Champions Event. Scopely is adding 5 star wrestlers. We will have to see how many 5 star wrestlers Phil whales out for.

Also this is a solo event so Phil doesn't have to rush to a new faction.

This guy is so retarded I had to stop watching after a minute.

It's pronounced dy-nam-ic not dyn-a-mic.

The gamma-ray burst is going to be visible from orbit when Phil's wallet annihilates into pure coomer energy.

All of them.

But, he could really use the support. Hint hint.

Can someone who plays this game explain this shit to me:

Does this mean that EVERY wrestler needs to be farmed to 5 to be efficient?

So he needs to up (eventually) like 200+ wrestlers?

God speed you retard. It's gonna annihilate his wallet. No other gacha would ever pull this.

All he'd have to do is not be an absolute cunt. So yeah, completely impossible, for Phil at least.

Aside from all the obvious reasons, this whole fiasco is definitively why no one will ever take Phil's opinions on game design seriously, despite his extensive legacy.
Of all the games he's played, of all the games he's shit on, the one that he sinks the most time, money, and effort into, outside of chasing his glory days with Street Fighter 2, is a shitty Bejeweled knockoff that he doesn't even think is perfect himself.
He's an overly-emotional narcissist with an attention span that would make flies seem studious.
