I think hes being honest when he says RPGs are his favorite style of game styles. (outside of gatcha style games) which is why he keeps trying to pick them up. No shade on RPGs as I love my weeb shit, but its very easy to trivialize most RPGS by turning your brain off and mindlessly grinding. Which is exactly what DSP wants out of a game, the ability to hit a button and win 97% of encounters.
Its just that its boring as shit to watch someone grind an RPG and requires an entertaining personality to carry it, which obviously isnt Phil.
I bet this is a time where ego trumps greed. Its important to his imagine that whever he goes, whatever he does, hes sucessful because hes a meaningful content creator.
