DSP has a loser's mentality (hence "you're still on Mission 1").
He shoots down every fan suggestion and then wonders why fans are more and more stingy with donations. "I'm a small guy! I can't do that! I'm not MoistCr1TiKaL or Maximilian Dood!" Right, and purposely doing the opposite of what successful streamers do is a winning strategy. The best way to grow as a streamer is to aim beyond where you are.
Since DSP loves restaurant analogies so much; this is McDonald's original menu from 1940:
It's very limited, but also classic. Cheeseburger, fries and a beverage. Can't go wrong. It's the basics and it's fundamentally what someone wants from a burger joint. But what happens when this is
all that's available for years and years? What if other burger joints open up and offer even just slightly more variety? What if McDonald's cooking equipment stagnates as other places upgrade?
DSP's formula of immediately playing brand new games is, on paper, a fundamentally sound method. But that alone only worked when the competition was tiny/nonexistent. Now in 2023 he is unironically literally
a decade or more behind his competition. His commentary isn't entertaining or insightful. His gameplay exists somewhere between total trash (which only entertains non-donating haters) and
just competent enough to complete the game. His tech is dogshit. His PC is almost older than Derich.
What do you get for supporting him? Fuck all. Someone in the suggestion box said he should go play some local Street Fighter matches and have some offline lag-free fun etc. Of course he shot this down because "DOOD I CAN'T TRAVEL THE COUNTRY BEING THE BEST I'LL HAVE NO TIME WITH MUH FAMILY!" Delusional retard. But this would actually be a cool idea for a membership goal. Hit the membership goal and DSP vlogs a local Street Fighter tournie. Another goal idea would be doing a Cooking With The King stream. But nope, he just prefers to give supporters fuck all in return for them carrying his lazy ass through life. Astounding shit.
DSP is that struggling non-franchise eatery that refuses to do anything that might bring in more customers. He'll just keep "curating" to an ever-shrinking fanbase.
