Aight - I was pretty sure I could go without dunking a poetry-slam on QuarterPounder's ass, but this shit right here got me fuming to no end.
Why the fuck is this gout-ridden piece of shit doing all of this in the first place? Well, surprise surprise - he spends most of his days browsing Kotaku and other third-grade news websites (as someone pointed out earlier), and is thus looking for the next scoop to cover on his trashy ass channel. He probably saw the Dexerto write-up and inhaled it with excitement. Not to mention the fact that he's boasting about getting to interview DSP, which apparently is some kind of achievement in everyone's book. It's true that Phil has been dodging every interview/podcast he was invited to hop on - but that's because the people running these prefered to keep their dignity by not paying DSP a single dime.
I don't get it. Why is Jeremy so surprised that "DSP always prevails and manages to survive everything just by existing"? It's because people like you decide to support him. He got the one thing out of you that he always wanted - and it just goes to show that QuarterPounder
doesn't do any kind of research on the subjects that he's covering. You'd think that a channel that's renowned for discussing controversial topics around gaming and the industry is run by a knowledgeable individual, and that's just not the case here. People like YongYea mop the floor with QuarterPounder when it comes to overall quality of their news reports.
I see similarities to Phil here if I'm being honest;
Jeremy rolls out of bed - over to his PC setup - browses Kotaku and /r/LiveStreamFails - puts on a dad hat - turns on the webcam and starts recording - 10 minutes of unnecessary and terribly structured rambling. To put it in the words of our favorite cow around here:
"Minimum effort.. minimum money and time invahlved.. maximum profit".
To conclude, I wanted to point out that
YOU are doing his work, Jeremy. Noticed how Phil was on his best behavior yesterday (apart from that one bit where he lashed out at his chat and mods for being nosy about the interview)? The two of you obviously agreed for this interview to be held on saturday night - and he can't afford to take another night off from working his ass off. Naturally, he's going to act different, knowing that you're watching his stream. I urge you to watch one of his Borderlands/past Blackout streams, or basically any stream where his "contributions were low". I know you won't do it, because you love to stand up for the underdogs - but damn. Prepare for a rude awakening when this interview goes live, my dude.
