Phil is his own worst detractor. He can point at us go "It's Tevin's fault." *snort* In actuality, it's always been his own doing. During the camcorder days, people were BEGGING Phil to go direct capture. LP's were coming in with better gameplay, direct capture, etc...and Phil was still in the dust. Like the mule he is, he dug his heels in and went "Dood, I was told by many people they prefer this, because it's like you're sitting next to me. Also, I think the quality is better than direct capture." Any person would've gone "The people want direct capture and better gameplay, the people will get what they want." Not Phil. Until he started losing money, he went direct capture. Phil FAILS to evolve, yet, he doesn't understand why he's hated. He was a cancer on the FGC arcade community - though, I'm willing to bet that a lot of the FGC arcade guys saw him as easy pickings for a few hundred bucks. Beat some loud-mouth scrub for a few hundred bucks, sure. He was a cancer on the FGC forms - and people wanted to physically fight him, but when it got too hot, he bitched up at the last minute. Don't get me started on the whole Jasper reveal! Phil, you can blame the detractor community all you want for your "failing", but remember - at the end of the day, it's you who has failed.
