5/15/2018 - DSP causes a Twitter shitstorm by being toxic towards streaming community

[JackDavis]

From that very same Merriam Webster page:
1a : one who acts as a decoy (as for a pitchman or gambler)

Decoy, as in a hawker posing as a legit customer.

From Dictionary.com
1. a person who poses as a customer in order to decoy others into participating, as at a gambling house, auction, confidence game, etc.

From Wikipedia
A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization.

Oxford Dictionaries:
Definition of shill - an accomplice of a confidence trickster or swindler who poses as a genuine customer to entice or encourage others.

I don't make up my own definitions of words.

AKA there are many definitions of the word "shill" so saying people are confused at the meaning because their definition differs from yours is incorrect, which was my point.

Have we seen reviews of this game yet?

Is it getting overwhelmingly positive reviews?

If everyone who got the advance copy was a paid shill the game should have 100% 5 stars best game ever reviews since the only people who have played it are getting paid to sing it's praises.

I checked, it's score is in the mid to high 70's. Kind of a shit game. Someone needs to get their money back from these "shills".

On another note, giving a free product to a reviewer or someone with influence is a smart business practice. Companies do it all the time. Seeing a rapper wearing the new Nikes that aren't in stores yet doesn't make him a shill. Phil getting a chair in return for a positive review is a shill.

The Spawnseats fiasco was a legitimate shill. The chair was identical to all other chairs made by that Chinese company and even had the logo still on it. Phil was supposed to hype it up and get people to by it from Spawn seats even though you could buy the same exact thing for less elsewhere. He was going to profit by helping sell something through deceit.

Getting free early copies isn't that difficult these days even for people who get SOME numbers. As long as your stream is vaguely popular you can get a couple of promotional stuff at year. Maybe not every single one but a few. At one point Phil could have gotten free early copies easily. Probably not these days due to his lack of numbers. In fact, he might be able to at least still get some indy games or smaller releases early. Probably not the AAA or even AA releases these days but he'll still be able to get early games for free.

As a bunch of people who called him out said. "Network." And it can barely even be counted as networking, half the time all you gotta do is just e-mail the company and ask. Show your Twitch account to prove you get some people who watch your stream, enough that they think you can promote their game, and they'll send you an early copy for free. Thats all you gotta do, put in a minimal amount of effort. And anyone who knows DSP knows that he's not gonna put in any effort at all. He expects this shit handed to him on a silver platter.

The funny thing is, when he was with Machinima he could have gotten so many free early copies if he just simply put in the minimal effort and asked, but again, silver platter and shit. The one time he did ask for a free copy was Fallout 4 and hey, he got it! He could have gotten much more if he just e-mailed them asking for it. I think he e-mailed them asking to go to E3 and got in too. I remember in his Machinima callout video he whined that they never sent him anything so he must have just sat there twiddling his thumbs expecting shit because "Muh 8 year legacy!" Well duh, they never sent you anything because you never asked.

Same with State of Decay 2. If he contacted the community team he would have gotten the game for free and early. Well, he won't now obviously due to burning so many bridges that various video game devs even saw it and now think he's entitled and to avoid giving him anything. But if he didn't do that dumb ass tweet and asked for the game early they'd have probably done it. The only reason he doesn't get games handed to him early is that he doesn't network at all. So they have no idea who he is as they've never met him, they don't know he's out there. Its like he automatically expects these game companies to know of him and to send him a game because legacy and shit. Once they're aware of your presence and you've promoted at least one of their games, then they start sending you stuff automatically because they actually know you exist now.

Well, for DSP that wouldn't happen either. After the first promotional game sent, they wouldn't send any more because as we all know he's shit at that kind of stuff and always blows it. Just ask Spawnseat. Its like anyone who works with him gets some sort of blight on their reputation and relationship with him. The fucker is like the Typhoid Mary of burning bridges.

tl;dr - He could have gotten a bunch of games early and for free if he just did the bare minimum effort and actually ask for the game so these people become aware of him. It's called networking. Of course he can't do that now as they're aware of him now, just not in a good way. lol.

he has more viewers than usual waiting for him to address the twitter drama and what does he do instead? talk about disabled gaymers.

he just called anyone not disabled, "normal"

[harbinger]

Yeah well if we wanted to be treated special by the big corporations he shouldn't have spent the last 10 years shitting on them any time they put something in their games that he couldn’t wrap his feeble, little mind around.

There, it’s fixed now.

 

[Sparkletor]

So Phil's viewers are physically ill but not mentally ill. Good to know.

fftopic: a little but "John Ramboned" would also be a great poll choice.

 

[Boxy Brown]

Actually, it's about the ethics of pre-release game key copies

 

[N0thingICanDo]

OUT of KAHNTEXT doooooood

 

[CausticMinory]

So Phil is a hypocrite, a HyPhilcrite as it were

 

[Kamatsubu]

Like I said in the main thread. I just found out about this today. I had no idea all this shit was going on, but it's funny as hell.

Yes, that's the thing. We know him, for a long time. Therefore we know exactly how he ment it: Literally. And the context is: He is a whiny, jealous, toxic baby. Or does he want to say only gullible people in the DSphere who don't question him know how he """really""" ment it?

Yah well. Just a great follow up to his apology on Twitter. See? He was right all the time. He's not really sorry even so he wrote he was factually wrong. Gosh darnit, why am I not really surprised? Burn in Hell Burnell, guess you can't change who you are.

Phil blesses us! Our vocabulary word for the day:

noblesse oblige: noun no·blesse oblige \ nō-ˈbles-ə-ˈblēzh \ : the obligation of honorable, generous, and responsible behavior associated with high rank or birth

Bloody wank stain. (edit: Phil, not you, sorry.)

But we don't know the context because we cannot see into his heart , Wurst. We don't know his pain. You're so mean. You need to be more positive.

I haven't seen inside Phil's heart but I know it looks so backed up with cholesterol it resembles expanding foam insulation

Note the careful brining in salt for tenderness and flavour.

I see random fucks with 8 friends and 119 games get 'review copies' on Steam (you can indicate if you got the game for free in reviews).

It's like early screenings. You just have to show interest, which few do.

 

[Wurstbrot]

Phil just needs to ask his network if they have connections with a free games provider. Usually that's easy to accomplish but he can only expect mostly indie games which shouldn't be a problem except you are a AAA whore like DSP. AAA keys are usually far more limited.

 

[Freshtodeath]

He thinks he's clever or something. Oh I'll tweet about supporting disabilities to make my image look good. It's like he thinks people are too stupid to see right through it. He's extremely exceptional.

Exactly all you need is to just ask for a review copy. You just need to not be a toxic asshole and piss off every developer and publisher...oh wait nevermind Phil fucked himself over again.
