Exactly what audience are games like Forza Horizon even supposed to appeal to? If I want to play a racing simulator I'll just load up iRacing. If I want an arcade racer, Mario Kart or its million different clones is the way to go. Neither is as fun as actual track which is why I don't play racing games, but still, from a conceptual standpoint I don't really see what niche these games fill besides fantasy fulfillment for mouth droolers.

The words "target audience" implies strategy, which implies planning.
Phil's method of making money has always been "point camera at latest AAA game and hope it brings in the money" and that will never change. He's not interested in appealing to anyone, people are supposed to pay him for existing.
His talk about whatever new playthrough bringing in the Silent Majority is to justify keeping his membership goal way too high in the hopes of baiting one of his sped whales into throwing their money away. Might as well since they're all he has left.

It's an awesome game dood, don't hate. It's a great game to turn off your brain and play. The escapism it provides is top notch. It has everything a carfag would ask for. You can make it challenging by turning off all the aids and upping the difficulty.
My only problem with it is that it's too good. It has too many cars and the game gives them away to you like candy. There's no real sense of progression, which diminishes motivation.

And that Koola (?) is totally THAT whale a long lost fan that just happened to show up. I really believe this after phil bragged about people coming back to his stream, the uncomfortable rambling and horrible acting like a kid who's about to get caught in lie really sold it.

"Long time fan since the Battle of Hastings 1066, been watching since your Pong (1972) playthrough. Did you ever play [INSERT MAINSTREAM VIDEO GAME IP HERE]? I'd love to watch the full playthrough and not skip ads on your on-demand YouTube Channel! "

Phil: "Hey username4948f9f99cn322kf! Thanks for the tip! I remember you from Twitch! Welcome back to the stream! Yes I did play [INSERT MAINSTREAM VIDEO GAME IP HERE] and you can find it on my on-demand YouTube Channel here on DSPGaming. Please remember that you can also support me offline with tips. "

He's now begging viewers to tip him while they're watching regular videos on his channel:

Absolutely fucking amazing. Is this a new low for DSP?

I recall him saying that he barely makes a "pittance" on views. But time to memory hole anything that doesn't support another way to guilt the audience into tipping/supporting.

Phil is already at rock bottom in terms of diginity....so if anything this is expected.

He went from "Twitch is a business based off of begging"

To "I may end up having to beg for tips and shit for the rest of my life"

He's also gotten to used to begging that it comes natural and he rarely gives thought to what comes out his snout.

It's not begging, it's"crowdfunding".

Guys, please, just 9 more pages and we'll reach the pages goal and I'll give you all the reward of, uhh, being able to keep posting in this thread!

I know we can do it together! We have THOUSANDS of people who come to this thread every day! One post from each one of you is enough!

It's not mandatory, of course. But maybe Null will downgrade this board to just one thread and it'll all be because of you. Yes, you! But it's not mandatory nor is it expected, it's okay if you just come to chill in chat and never post anything ITT like some retarrr, I mean, some great detractors do.

But please post.

See the thing is you're the one playing it. You aren't a streamer that's supposed to entertain people. Watching someone play a racing game very poorly who has no knowledge of cars outside needing reminders to get an oil change is the most boring shit ever.

At least Crash and Mario Kart are fun to watch because of his ineptitude. Nothing is fun watching a fat man slam the gas throughout Virtual Mexico ramming into cacti and spinning the wheel of fortune every minute.
