I meant more these people judging whether the Direct was a "success" or not. I mean we know Phil has absolutely no ear for the cultural zeitgeist. That "indie marathon" was a joke, and I largely think he chose titles he already had access to or were cheaper than a buck.

I know, but the sad reality is his fans have been conditioned to help him make money. They know now to only suggest games that could make him money. Anyone suggesting games because they're good games seem to get ignored or condescended to. Eventually they give up and go to a better streamer/LPer or they become another sheep baaing along.
 
DSP isn't self-sabotaging, he's stupid and greedy as fuck. He cares about YouTube because he wants every red cent he can get. He already said to someone who suggested he stop uploading to YouTube that it only takes him a few minutes to upload all of his videos to YouTube and he'd be stupid not to for the money. This was after months of pushing the narrative that it takes him forever to babysit uploads. Even if he makes $50 off the GTA:SA playthrough on YouTube, it's worth it because it's easy and he's comfortable with it.
 
He's an only child & has no children. I bet he's gonna get an inheritance from his folks of some size & that's what he's banking on to survive post streaming. Just a theory of mine.

Would not surprise me if Phil just ended up selling everything his parents have and using that to pay off his own debts so he can stay in his crumbling McMansion.

I don't get the idea of playing a specific game that could make big money. Well, okay, yes, I do in cases where the streamer in question is NOT Phil. Some people flourish when they play specific genres so it's a lot of fun watching them and this makes big cash. People want to see more of this guy who plays this genre because it's simply super entertaining, or super informative, or super interactive, or super educational, or super autistic (which is also quite legit I would say). These people own their genre.

Phil owns nothing. He plays and reacts to every game in the same boring way because he has no interest in playing games, just money, and videogames are an easy lazy way of receiving that. So his only chance of getting more viewers is to lure them with a popular game, hope these people are only interested in the game and mute his ass for the rest of the stream, I guess.

Seriously, Phil should pick a game he honestly enjoys. Not because of money but he really likes this game. There must be something, somewhere. And I can only hope it's not this broken Street Fighter Turbo whatever game.

This is true, but even then, when Phil takes one of those suggested good games and fucks it up by being a dipshit, or by being months late to the party, it's the fans' fault for suggesting it. People just don't see the big picture dood, they never listen to me, it's all their fault the streams are boring! So you're really in a lose-lose situation when you try and help Phil out.

He has. He has been replaying Heavy Rain if he hasn't finished it already. Phil likes walking sims. I bet you can't guess why.

He's not really an only child
His parents adopted his female cousin who was apparently pretty troubled but managed to get her life on track.
Apparently she's kind of the kid they never had an attends a lot of the charity stuff Mama Burnell runs.
No one's quite sure on how official the adoption is but she's clearly going to be provided for in any will.

Completely autistic fanfic that I just pulled out of my ass here but:
DSP basically cutting off his parents because they're inching him out of the will/giving him less money would explain a lot
 
Self sabotaging? Thats crazy talk.

He plays the old games to remember the time when he first played it and had money and fame... before everything went downhill. THATS THE REASON. It slowly kills his views but who cares when he get a healthy doze of good memories out of it...

Well, it can't be:
- Least effort and it's lazy
- More time to get backseatgamed from chat
- More time to do nothing
- Walking and QTE is easy
- Money

Whoever would say something like that must be a detractorious detractor. So I have really no idea. I guess he has fun with the content of this game, yes. this must be it.

There's no evidence really to say they will but I would say his Cousin will be provided for and if she should have children then they will also be provided for.
The real threat to Phils nest egg is Mama Burnell leaving a substantial chunk to the charitable works she's involved in.

Keep in mind Phil is a real adult with real adult house and real adult girlfriend and real adult 10 year legacy so why would his parents worry about his future.

Sorry Phil your cousin is getting the lot
But we FINALLY got you that wolverine doll you wanted
 
Meanwhile on the TKOHF Nintendo thread, Pineapple Man is getting dangerously close to being woke. Someone tries to white knight Phil, because Phil's hatred obviously stems from Nintendo claiming ad revenue. This guy hilariously asks "Would you play a game if you don’t get paid? Probably not, right?", a quote which is so ridiculous even the other members seize on it. No way this thread doesn't end up at least locked.

I love how WOOF tries to defend Phil by saying he does praise Nintendo games...by listing several games that aren't even made by Nintendo. Sorry WOOF, but Phoenix Wright/Ace Attorney, Final Fantasy, and Chrono Trigger aren't Nintendo games. They just exist on a Nintendo console.

Also love how according to Phil, first-party Nintendo games don't count when it comes to new games, because "we knew they were coming". What kind of mental gymnastics is that? By that logic, any franchise that did well with its first entry no longer counts in regards to new games that a console will get, because we "know" a sequel will be on the way. And what about the first-party franchises that haven't had entries in years? Nobody is expecting a new F-Zero, or Advance Wars. If they get a surprising new entry, do they suddenly not count as a new title because they're first-party?

Brb, I obviously need to take some smart pills to keep up with Phil and his genius-level intellect.

Don't worry everyone Amityville won't let these people get away with critiquing Phil

Rude -
  • Calling Phil out for shitting on Nintendo.
  • Replying to his comments and disagreeing with him.

Not rude -
  • Telling fans to fuck themselves/fuck off.
  • Calling them idiots/morons on a daily basis.
  • Slapping people with the ban-hammer for having a different opinion.
  • Lying to people/scamming them.
Okay, Amityville. Glad we cleared that up.
