As gross as his behavior is, if you think about it, it could very well be an indication that Phil's spending (probably not just on gacha, either) has gotten so bad that he actually can't afford Champions, delivered food, gin, his actual bills, AND stuff for the business. He could very well be doing this bullshit in order to keep from cutting into his frivolous spending and his financial responsibilities (the ones he actually acknowledges, at least), since he otherwise can't support his own business unless it literally pays for itself through fans gifting him stuff.
I'm really curious to see what Phil's breaking point is with this game he plays. And I mean the one where he stupidly tries to have all his cake and eat it too, for as long as possible before time is up on that shit. Will he sacrifice his Snort Fort, or cut back on Champions so he can keep it? We'll find out, one of these days, if he doesn't die first.
Explains why Phil doesn't come clean, because we know for a fact he doesn't accept the truth about why he rakes in tips. Confessing without any concerns for consequences would be tantamount to acknowledging that we keep him alive, and his ego can't take that any more than it can take being an admitted mobile gaming addict and long-time scamming scumbag. Doesn't even matter that it wouldn't kill his streams, it would still kill HIM.
