On top of being a spoiled shit who wants everything NOW NOW NOW, Phil lacks the foresight necessary to recognize that him getting daily money of large amounts has done absolutely nothing to improve his life whatsoever. In fact it has visibly worsened his overall condition. This became abundantly clear to me when I viewed footage from early 2019, when he didn't even have a tips goal, it just said "total tips". And he was able to clown around, no matter how many times he would fuck up in a game, which is impossible to see him doing now unless he has raked in tons of tips. It's like night and day watching him play DKC2 versus his embarrassing run through the remake of RE3 from last year, or this year's streams of Divinity.
Question is, has all that money really been going directly to Scopely? We've been assuming so, but what if it isn't? I mean he looks so much like a junkie fixing for his next hit that it's hard to imagine anything else being responsible for his shift from not caring so much about tips to revolving his whole stream around them, and well before losing his partnership, but what if we're mistaken?
I wish it was easier to track his spending on that game, though I suppose it's clue enough the fact that he hasn't given up on it. He's still trying to upgrade his guild, which to me denotes still being pretty well hooked. But does that in of itself denote daily whaling out? What if it doesn't? What if Phil found some other vice, that's making such a jackass out of him lately?
