This was my attempt at writing a tweet at the 7 hour mark he noticed everyone hated him for it.

"Sorry for letting my envy get to me, I (obviously) didn't get State of Decay 2 and felt a bit left out! I appreciate all the other full-time streamers who reached out. It's incredible how much diversity stream viewers get now with who they watch and I'm happy to have been a part of this family for as long as I have. Still looking forward to playing SoD2 on the official release day!"

I think it'd be hard for people to keep poking at him if he tweeted something like that. We still would, but not people from fucking Bethesda and Ubisoft.
It would be an interesting exercise for PR/marketing students to go through. "It has been 10 hours since you/your client has posted this, and the responses have been overwhelmingly negative. Write a response that will best address this issue at hand."
 
I can't see them excusing this... if it was a first time ,maybe.
He's more than proven he can not, and will not learn how to comply to their standards. Who has the energy to protect this guy?

Especially when you remember that several other ones have been fired from their jobs (!) for imo much less. #rememberdealwithit

When I first read his tweet, I thought he was just being a bit salty. I didn't realize I was looking at the beginning of a nuclear shitstorm.

So when will the TIHYDP of State of Decay 2 come out?

Well, at least Phil doesn't agree with people getting games early. Because he sure as hell lost any opportunity to get them early himself, if any even existed before this happened.

whenever the game does. remember he's getting it on release day like a TRU GAMER DOOD

And him paying for it himself by using money he gets from playing video games. Such a great role model.

This is a hilarious thread, only DSP can get the entirety of the gaming world to shit on him all at once.. 2018 Lolcow of the Year cemented now.

Edit: btw, did you notice that his original tweet got over 200 likes? What sane person likes something like this?
People sometimes 'like' things on Twitter to easily find them later, most of those likes are probably detractors.
 
btw "By the age of 35 you should have" seems to be a meme people have started about DSP. But he's 36, that still doesn't stop it from being funny:

I think it's referencing an article somebody made by the age of 35 you should have twice your salary saved for retirement.

but wow this sure is a shitstorm he's started. It's not like he had any chance at sponsorships or free games anyway but yeah that's gone lol.

I love how the method of deflection they have is undermining everything Phil does.

"...he threathened to harm a kid during a livestream in front of 300 viewers with a 2-times banned Twitch channel? Nah, wake me up when something interesting happens".

Also, apologizing right after speaking your mind only harms you further and makes you look like a bitch who can't stand for what he thinks.

He could geniunelly believe what he said and for once justify his stupid self imposed title of "King of Hate" but once again he just shows how insecure of a man he is.
 
I see no reason to not think he'll miraculously survive this latest firestorm just like all the countless firestorms and slink by like he always does.

i think we can expect this. one thing to consider is that he's on break when it's happening so he can think about how to address it on stream when he returns and not keep running his mouth like he would be if he was streaming right now and reacting to this shitstorm in real time.

Did he honestly think people would agree with him? LOL
The sad thing is, no. Not on the outside of his DSPhere anyways. The tweet was clearly intended for the inner circle to sway them away from watching anyone else and just watch him. He's very crafty in how he uses words like "Real gamers" and "Shills" he paints them to be awful people and paints himself to be true and ahnest. So in a fans mind they gotta watch him, if they watch anyone else's State of Decay stream then they're watching bad people who are just there for money, and they're not real gamers anymore. But watching Phil, a real gamer, then they're a real gamer too!

Its fucked up logic but thats essentially his plan. He's one of those people who instead of lifting himself up and promoting himself so he looks better, he just brings others down and shits on them so he looks better. Which sometimes works, it just doesn't work if you're also a shitty person that can be called out on your behaviour.
 
Did he honestly think people would agree with him? LOL

He doesn't think about things in terms like that. He shores himself up in an impenetrable cereal box fort, solders shut every imaginable facet of unfiltered communication with him, smashes anything that slips through the electronic cracks, and subsists on an (ever-depleting, but) at its core, unwaveringly loyal fan base of approximately 300 people. Consequences are a thing he makes sure he's never forced to confront head-on. And when he can't avoid it, he resorts to revisionist history, 180-ing, and awe-inspiring denial.

This one, though... this one fuckin survived the DMZ & made safe passage out of DarkSydeVille..
