When other streamers get sponsorships they're shills and sell outs, DSP just wants to be an hanest gamer not beholden to some corporate overlord kissing some product's ass! He tells it like it is and that's why people like him doods.
Oh wait never mind turns out that whole thing has been a lie this whole time, he desperately wants a sponsorship and it's all the trolls fault it can't happen.
It was interesting seeing him talk about this today because he so recently expressed the hardline stance about being against sponsorships when he claimed to turn down the Raid sponsorship.
He kept saying things like "These headphones I like, this beverage I like..." and cited Assassins Creed and the Twitch sponsor program as a game he was 'already playing anyway' but got paid extra to pay. He'd just take money for things he
already likes, guys!
This is all pure spin of course, deliberately there to ease the cognitive dissonance anyone paying attention should be experiencing. Think about what we've seen...
- The 1Up loot boxes he shit on as being cheap crap after shilling them for years
- The chair he shilled before he actually had it and then later called cheap Chinese crap (he also banned people that said that on the day he revealed it)
- The appearance of FakeSydePhil for the paid segment of Assassins Creed that emphasized how willing he is to bend for money
- The other Twitch sponsor game, ELO Hell, which was lame but he shilled anyway and has now memoryholed
- Mario and Sonic at the Olympics which he got for free, neglected to mention until ragequitting it, and then failed to properly disclose until harassed to do so
- The Hori controller he recently showcased and repeatedly noted in the review things Kat had told him because he was clearly reviewing and shilling a controller he had not used
As usual, the trolls are the only thing keeping him honest. They're just trying to keep him on his righteous path and defend him from the corrupting temptation of sponsors.
