The Detractor - Official DSP Video Game

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Doody is saying the game should be back up on steam soon, but it appears that the developer is gonna pixel art Phil and have an AI record all voice overs.
What is the current best method to keep Steam from auto updating the game? I no longer see any option to decline updates/keep current version in the games library "preferences" tab? Create a Steam folder on an external drive that is only connected after launching Steam in offline mode?
 
I know that this got discussed to death but if Phil didnt submit the take down and didnt approve of the take down by a 3rd party, doesnt he have an obligation to make sure that the take down is removed. Even if its not a legal obligation, which I believe it should be, for such a "moral guy" wouldnt he want to make sure his identity isnt being stolen and abused for illegal means. I mean to take his own words, this game is his livelihood, and to get that taken away with false DMCA is a tragedy

He's a lying liar. He had at least a hand in the dcma claim.

Phil should care about poor DownFromTheRafters/TheGunShow84/TheyCallMeDSP in WWE Champions who has been wrongfully harassed for years because detractors assume it's Phil. He could stop the harassment showing his phone for a few seconds.

It's more interesting to me if Phil's not lying and there is someone in the detractor community petty enough to dmca in Phil's name just to fuck with both the dev and phil. I would love to read the thread on that hypothetical person because holy shit.

Do not expect consistency in his actions when it comes to this.

He has however called out people impersonating him in the past and issuing takedowns in certain platforms, like Twitter and YouTube. There's several of them, including some instances where SuperHound was involved.

I have not been keeping up with this, but it is possible that if he has not issued the takedown and has not condemned it, he either:

-(1) Feels the takedown is justified due to using content from his streams, and in a somewhat malicious way (making him look like a bad person), even if it's transformative enough.
-(2) Feels it doesn't matter if he calls it out, since his rationale is that no matter what he does, detractors will try to screw him in any way possible, not believe him anyways, and having this as a waste of his effort and time.

For those who are surprised of the possibility of a detractor/troll doing this and not DSP, you're too new here. The DSPVortex is a reality show, and the people who are starring are not only Philip and his fans, but also the detractors; SuperHound is the best example of someone playing this game.

You too as well, whoever is reading this, are part of the reality show.
 
Phil finally addressed the game.
Note, he did not actually address the game.

He says he doesn't know anything about any game made about him and he has never claimed any videos, channels or games in any platform, Youtube, Twitch, or wherever the game is, Steam maybe.

He's obstructing any quick resolution by not providing an actual reply and instead trying to work some pignosis nonsense.

Also, did not reply a written statement though email, his preferred contact method, which is why the dev was trying to contact him through super chats.

Guilty as far as I can tell, or directly involved in it. I hope the dev sues Phil, it would be funny as fuck if they insisted in making it a public trial regardless of the result.

The new Phil voice and sprite look hilarious. HappiiGamer is going to dunk on Phil harder than he did before because now he's taking it personally lol.

Uff.
I get it, I know why he is doing it and it actually doesnt sound as bad I thought it would be, kinda dig it. But the majority of the charm of the game came from the original clips, its just not gonna be the same.

EDIT: We need a mod and tutorial to put back the original clips once we buy the new version.

I went ahead and backed up my original copy so that when this update comes out I won't be limited to only the legally distinct Phil.

I might be pretty naïve, but I don't actually think Phil had anything to do with it. Though I doubt he's fighting very hard to stop it. If there's one thing I've learned it's that people like Phil have alogs that are so possessive of their pet retards that they'll do anything to keep them to themselves.
 
I bought the game early on, and surprisingly (as somebody who doesn't play video games) I've found myself enjoying it. Are there any games out there similar to it anybody could recommend?

It’s a very basic roguelike. Here’s some more well-known and imo much better examples:

Slay The Spire (the closest in structure)
Balatro
Dead Cells
Hades
Risk of Rain 2
FTL
Into The Breach
Monster Train

FTL is one of the greatest indie games of all time. I can't recommend it enough. Another excellent more action-based roguealike is Death Road to Canada.
