Remember, DSP slowly wanders around every game he plays commenting on everything he sees no matter how innocuous. This is the dude who saw a waterfall in a game, stopped to look at it (while probably looking at chat/checking tips) and his only commentary was "look, a waterfall.. ahuhuhoooo".

Which game was it? I always forget it.

I'd do the same, there's nothing wrong with taking your time and appreciating the environments.
But Phil literally says that he's going to go on some treasure hunting venture in order to not progress with the plot - y'know, like, that one thing that his viewers are interested in seeing?

Outer Worlds.

Outer Worlds.

In fairness to Phil, a random waterfall is probably the funniest thing in that game.

TOW is the rare calibre of RPG that isn't wasted on someone like DSP.

Beat him by 3 and a half hours on hard.
Phail is such a pussy.

"OMG Guyz, thiz boss is so hard *snort* what do I even do? Die you stupid fucking idiot *snort* Ah yes here's a $0.01 donation from-"
*Also leans over and reads fucking gamefaqs almost as often as his donations and bosses comically miss every hit*

 

[We Are The Witches]

Don't forget that DSP, even after all the DMCA claims he has gotten, is still using to my knowledge this animation. He has no respect for anything and is an utter incompetent.

Everyone so far on the webs have been saying the real fun is in the harder settings and that standard casual is a joke. I was wondering the same earlier until further researching. Standard in this game is literally just a walking simulator.

So the perfect game for Phil then. Since he insists on saying he's the "average Joe gamer who plays only on the difficulty the devs wanted him to play".

It's a shame his whales are so pathetic. It'd be great if they actually demanded him to play on harder difficulties, or else...

But truth be told, I think Phil doesn't even try to protect his image of a decent gamer anymore. Remember when he started playing Crash Bandicoot and chose "Modern" instead of "Retro" mode? The man who spent years trying to say he was the king of retro doing that kinda thing.

It won't be too long now when Phil will be playing mainly visual novels like Danganronpa that are just stories to be read. His aversion to challenges is bizarre, and is probably anticipating his inevitable Dementia Arc.

How do I know you’re not Phil from the future come back to try and flex on us tractors?

I enjoyed the game for the most part, but the humor did get very old a lot faster than I expected it to.

 

[Pargon]

mainly visual novels

Impossible. Most visual novels available on consoles involve sex and/or romance, which are widely known to be banned topics in the Burnell household.

I cant show you my phone , you will use it against me - you will see an icon or some small thing , a tiny nugget of truth and turn it in to some crazy conspiracy theory with your shit head friends, snort

Any way .......

sorry gang, I'm very new to DSP's shitshow. I was wondering, do we have an estimate on how much he's losing a month now twitch killed his subs

 

[Fill Bern El]

Okay, so after from research, Phil could be legitimately in trouble. Like big trouble.

Essentially, PayPal is a US based company, therefore must abide by US laws. Easy enough. One of these laws that financial institutions are forced to follow can include this thing called, the "USA Patriot Act." Shocking, I know. Now, the Patriot Act is a broad piece of legislature so there's a bunch of small laws and policies that branch off from it. DSP could very well be violating Know Your Customer/Client (KYC) laws and or Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws, which both fall under the Patriot Act.

Now, PayPal isn't considered a bank, nor do they consider themselves a bank, but they still must follow and abide by the regulations of financial institutions. That means that PayPal follows KYC and AML laws. What we're going to particularly look at is the Customer/Client Identification Program (CIP). This was put in place to "better protect the world's financial systems in response to the September 11 attacks" and better ensures that a financial entity avoids being used by parties for money laundering by gathering information from clients and customers. This is important because it prevents the financial institution from being tied to criminals and terrorists, which in turn better protect the U.S. as a whole. What this program requires is that all banks are to verify a customer's identity using credentials like their name, date of birth, address, an ID, or other documents. To demonstrate this further, PayPal, oddly enough, has their own CIP in which they verify a customer's identity using much of the same measures.

So now that leaves the question, why does this matter? The most likely scenario is Phil simply gets banned from PayPal for violating their agreement. But the thing about CIP, it's not just a website policy, it falls under government laws. Violating KYC and AML laws could lead to felonies. It's possible that Phil could have been encouraging people to commit felonies basically everyday of the past week. If people really did violate CIP to make burner verified PayPal accounts to donate to Phil, would Phil be punished or the people? If you research it, you mostly see the organizations themselves getting punished for KYC violations because they're the ones not doing their due diligence, but the people they do business with are as responsible for complying with KYC as the organization. And don't get me wrong, thinking practically people probably put fake info on PayPal all the time. The difference, though, is that somebody encouraging people to set up fake verified burners to transfer money to a PayPal account that takes in thousands of dollars per week with a history of chargebacks looks shady as fuck and may even warrant a legitimate PayPal investigation (if people actually did it, ofc).

Honestly, nothing will probably happen past a ban knowing the pigroach's luck, but it's just a fun thought bubble; Phil casually encouraging people to possibly commit felonies because $100 a stream isn't cutting it anymore. He'd for sure be banned if PayPal caught wind of this though.
