In Supercard he was a whale but plenty of other players were on his level and outright called him an idiot because he would often tell them about "new" strategies he'd come up with that had already been common knowledge for ages. I don't see any of that in his champions guild, people either like him or at least hold their tongues because of all the spending he does.

Well there's your explanation of why he got so into the game. Nothing Phil loves more than ignoring reminders that he's a stupid asshole with no talent and has no business acting like the world revolves around him.

Going to leave these here, let me elaborate on context, this is someone infamous for reviewing wrestling events online going on for nearly thirty years or so now, they admit to playing WWE Champions since launch and thus provide an interesting other point of view on the game I think:

Gacha and television don't mix.

Relevant quote excised below.

"Oddly, there seems to be some actual desire from people to discuss the soul-sucking demon that is WWE Champions on the blog. Granted I waste far too much of my time and money on it, but if it’s actually generating interest then maybe I’ll do some kind of weekly discussion deal for the goings-on. And also I’m down to 15,000 MLC points away from maxing the month and getting Stacy Keibler so I should have it wrapped up this week for the second month in a row. Although once again, I cannot stress enough that it is NOT WORTH IT to get involved with the game. I’ve been playing since the original beta and I’m something like 5 years into it now so there’s a whole sunk cost logical fallacy thing messing with my mind and I’m well aware that it’s just chasing the dragon at this point. But please, for your own sanity, stay far away from Scopely and their bile. Oh and my faction is BulletClubRJD if you want to join, but it’s typically full so there’s not usually spots available."

NOT WORTH IT. As if we didn't know that already because we don't have autism. Was that faction one that Phil got run off from pretending that he was being framed in the game, I'm not sure?

Scott Keith is still rolling on. I remember reading his reviews in the 00s. Him and his blog are the guys WWE Champions is catered to... old obsessed smart marks that continue to watch wrestling for years bitching about it, trying to relive the nostalgic old days. Phil isn't even one of those.

No, he isn't, because even though he obviously loves wrestling, the theme isn't what has him hooked on Champions.

This is what makes gacha being the financial blackhole in his life so fucking pathetic. It's one thing when a theme lures you into something you might not otherwise find palatable. It's quite another when you get addicted because you're a fucking gambling idiot, who also depends on a lack of reflection being forced on you by other players who you manage to be a bigger loser than.

When you examine everything about Phil, a $100k investment in WWE Champions is the only logical conclusion. It both explains everything and checks off every box. He got everything he wanted and nothing he didn't, at least until someone found his account (entirely because he was stupid enough to name it "TheyCallMeDSP", which he's too much of an asshole to even regret), and then sweet deranged Nigel decided to have some fun.
 
DSP was playing WWE Champions today during his extended break taking Kat to her job. During that time he pulled the new Brock Lesnar and completely maxed the jpeg out. Some talks with other fellow Champion players peg him spending around 2k to max out Brock.

Holy shit. Whenever I see this kind of post ITT I face a cognitive dissonance: on one hand I know that there are too many things proving that the account is Phil's, but on the other hand it's pretty difficult for me to believe that the man who begs daily for tips is spending thousands on this game after being caught! Just wild.

I wonder if we'll ever have an "addiction reveal arc", that'd be pretty fun to watch, seeing how Phil would try to contort the fact that he has lied for so long about how he spends the money he begs for.
 
That truly is sad. There's still the single-digit percent chance it's actually not Dave. But are we really supposed to believe someone is so deadset on framing DSP as this addicted jpeg gambler that they themselves would spend thousands of dollars themselves on a wrestling gacha to do it? The man truly does live in his own little world if he thinks he's fooling anyone. Get help.
 
I'm still amazed at the fact that he actually planned out, publicly, an undisclosed break from the stream to play Champions. This tells us a lot about how much his addiction has gotten worse, or, possibly, his attitude on life in general has gotten worse. We know how much Phil hates downsides, for anything, well with as much as he clearly prefers to gamble over play actual video games, it's not a stretch to say that him putting the burden of buying games for him to stream onto the paypigs is merely an extension of that.

This could be, as well. Phil is done with his gacha time per day being what it has been for years, he wants more Champions and less video games, so he's going to keep doing shit like this. He may not be so much compelled by addiction so much as being a spoiled entitled childish shithead that doesn't grasp how close he is to legit permanent financial ruin, and wouldn't abort his current course even if he did.

Basically, this is happening because he's a pigroach.

It is, but for things to be business as usual with Phil, I would expect him to be logged into Champions during the breaks we've come to expect, and between his day and night streams. And after. This is something else entirely, he actually went out of his way, in advance, to set up some time away to play Champions, during his usual streaming hours. And made up a story, when he didn't even have to. While knowing full well, going into this, that we would spot the bullshit, check his account, discover the truth, and mock him for not only his stupid story but his addiction to a shitty predatory mobile game.

I'm so used to Phil being lazy even with his gacha, that I couldn't anticipate this level of exertion from him, not even for wasting money on wrestling jpegs. Now that I know I'm wrong, I can easily foresee things getting worse from here.

Actually, I somewhat disagree with this. I can fully believe 100% he thought we’d never decide, or even come up with the idea to check his account, or at the most we’d just doubt his story and run into a couple dead ends. Phil and thinking about the future are like oil and water.

Except he DID think about the future, because he planned this, and yet at no point did it occur to him that maybe he shouldn't because we would find out easily. Anything beyond the ordinary log in times is going to stick out like a sore thumb, and he knows it by now. He was way better off sticking with the usual schedule.

That level of stupidity and fucked priorities has me convinced that Phil was just plain destined to be a fucking loser no matter what his parents did. Especially since I learned that they took his car away from him after the accident, which is way more than I ever would've thought they would do, and his reaction was to get (and stay) pissed about them making the right move. I find it hard to believe that that was the first time they ever disciplined him for anything, because I find it hard to believe that someone so stupid and prone to cunt behavior was able to hold it in for 27 years. He can't even do it for 27 minutes. He definitely fucked up before that, got punished, and learned nothing.

It's no wonder THIS is the blackhole in his life.

You make a good point. Let me rephrase, Phil and thinking about the future if it won't bring him immediate, mindless gratification to do so are like oil and water.

It does strike me as out of character for him and makes me wonder if that WWE itch is nagging at him ever more nowadays, which is what's causing this level of planning. Interested in seeing how this develops because, if it's anything like his addiction growing more demanding of his time and money than things are only going to plummet from here, and I'll love every second of it.

Unrelated side note, can you imagine if he had the foresight to give himself a different fucking username when he signed up for this game? Right now we'd have no clue what he was up to during this little break of his :story:
 
I do wonder to what extent it affects Phil to have thrown so much money at this game and he can't brag about how 'good' he is at it.

This absolute clown still lives off the former glory of being 'least shit non-Japanese Street Fighter player 2005' - and we saw from some of his guild messages he loved messaging new players offering 'help' because he had all the jpegs. It must fucking kill him inside he can't gloat to anyone other than the gambling addicts on his wanky game.

He would love to use his pay to win credentials to flex on everyone if we hadn't caught him. Though the fact he tried to keep it under wraps means he knows this is not a good look, so maybe there's a shred of self awareness on his part.
