Asmongold Told DarkSydePhil to 'Call the Police' Over Reports of His Content Being Monetized by Others

On September 17, Soap Central published coverage of an Asmongold stream in which he reacted to claims made by DarkSydePhil, the long-tenured Twitch streamer, that his content was being taken by other accounts and posted online for profit. Asmongold's response, as reported by Soap Central, came down to four words: "You need to call the police."

DarkSydePhil, whose legal name is Philip Burnell, stated publicly that his videos were being redistributed and monetized by third parties without his authorization. The available coverage from Soap Central did not specify the mechanism: whether it was ad-revenue reupload farms, paywalled clip compilations on external sites, or something else. What it recorded was Asmongold's framing, which routed the situation away from platform moderation and toward formal legal channels.

The two streamers do not have a well-documented prior relationship. Asmongold operates primarily out of Austin, Texas, and built his audience around World of Warcraft and gaming commentary. DarkSydePhil has been a fixture of livestreaming conversation for well over a decade, returning to Twitch after a period of bans, and is discussed as frequently for the surrounding controversies as for his actual content. The moment of apparent alignment, one streamer treating another's redistribution grievance as a serious legal matter, was enough for Soap Central to log it.

For the record, no public confirmation of a police report or formal copyright complaint appeared in Soap Central's September 17 coverage, and none has surfaced in the record since.

The clip predates Asmongold's current run of news by more than a month. September 17 came before the WoW tournament crash-out, the Streamer Awards rigged claim, the $100,000 audit offer to QTCinderella, xQc's pushback on that claim, the HasanAbi smear campaign accusation, and EGW News reporting on Asmongold and Chris Avellone attributing BioWare's closure to EA. That sequence ran from roughly October 14 through October 23. The DarkSydePhil reaction did not appear in any of it.

In between, Asmongold uploaded a video on October 7 titled "$400 million for THIS.." and on October 19 posted "What the f**k is happening in Italy??" on YouTube, the latter arriving one day after "France is legit done.." went up on October 18. The Italy upload has not been addressed in indexed coverage as of October 25.

What happens next: Whether DarkSydePhil filed any formal complaint related to the alleged content redistribution remains unconfirmed in the public record. Soap Central has not published a follow-up in the available record. Asmongold has not returned to the topic in any indexed stream or upload as of October 25, 2026.
