Curious that Phil is fine estimating Ninja's income when he claims nobody can accurately estimate his own income. Why are THOSE estimates correct, Phil.
Phil's entire rant was also predicated on it being impossible that Ninja would be willing to take a pay cut for more freedom. He probably did get paid by Mixer, don't get me wrong, but Phil assumes that people would pursue only money in any given circumstance. Pretty telling that Mr.Honest and Mr.Not-PC who is in it for the love of the game believes that people only do things for money. The whole rant was seething not only with jealousy, but pretty telling of Phil's own priorities, which, as usual, are completely the opposite of everything he claims.
He's also playing classic SF instead of MLB tomorrow night. Interesting that this came up a day after the announcement that Honda is joining SFV... it's like he is thinking about it. Are you out there, Tut?
He also claimed he is trying to build speculation and hype for the announcement on Sunday, and said the chat speculating as being 'exactly what he wanted'. Remember this in 10 minutes when he yells at someone for asking if Kat is pregnant and being "morons" for speculating.
EDIT: Someone asked if Phil was thinking of playing the new SFV characters and he sarcastically replied "no", and ranted about the game being shit. He claims now "I don't care! I know the game stinks! I know the reason most people play it is because it is the only Capcom game with only popularity right now!" 24 hours ago he said he would consider trying Honda. His memory is completely shot.
EDIT 2: Someone pointed out Ninja said he only wanted to make enough to take care of his family and then he didn't care about money (which is also what Phil has said, mind you). Phil said this is "honourable"... but that Ninja's lying and that isn't his motivation. Again, if roles were reversed, Phil would not tolerate people questioning his motivations like this.
