I absolutely love it when he goes on about how he had 900~ subs on Twitch but only 200something members on YouTube and how there's this weird disparity between the numbers. He seems to completely ignore that like 700 of those were either prime subs or (majority) gifted. In his world, like 100 of them were prime and gifted.He could do a short members-only stream before his break and do a poll during it asking what to play. But even if he thought of that he probably wouldn't want to do that because he would be horrified by the extremely low attendance and participation vs his supposed membership.
It's so fucking bizarre that when he moans his streams are boring, he blames the game. Or lack of attendance - it's the game's fault! I know he never takes the blame for anything but even this is a bit much. I'm a fan of a YouTuber/streamer called CallMeKevin. I've watched videos of him playing fucking Barbie games or the Desperate Housewives game and they were hilarious. He uploads daily (he does have an editor, I believe) but he also streams most days as well. He's very dedicated as well - a few months back, he had to have an operation on his foot and he was concerned about getting home in time because he had a stream scheduled! He made it home in time for his stream. Can you imaging Phil if that was him? He'd have to take off at least a week and be bitching and moaning about it for months.I know I'm a bit late with this comment, but regarding the whole "I'm having fun, why isn't everyone else having fun?" comment, aside from the obvious narcissism, he's sort of correct that a lot of people, myself included will watch streamers play games they personally would never play but still enjoy watching because the streamer is enjoying him or herself (It also helps that those people actually interact with their viewers and aren't scamming beggars).
The problem is Phil is never having fun anymore (did he ever?) when he plays videogames. So when he says "I'm having fun" I always get confused because more often than not he was either goat laughing while playing some walking simulator, trying not to fall asleep or complaining about some bugged mechanics. "I'm having fun, why isn't everyone else having fun?" But you weren't though Phil. So by his own logic, his few viewers/wheelchairs should also not be having fun, because he hates every single game he plays nowadays.
DSP is getting stale. There for a little while it seemed like he was edging closer and closer to having a meltdown. But at this point it has become clear exactly how the next several months is going to play out. His claims of the hardcore gaming season saving him will not be true once again. Halo, Far Cry, and Metroid will all fail to give him that wave of pahsitivity that he craves. The whole taking back his twitter rant will be memory holed within a month. In December I guarantee he'll be streaming to the exact same same audience, getting tips from the exact same whales, having the exact same money begging, and gearing up for the exact same tax begathon.
We need a true black swan to make him interesting again. We need something like a divorce saga from OiC or Khet.
He's been ranting about streamers and YouTubers lately and how they'll be praising the next CoD and Battlefield games no matter how good or bad they are because they "need" the new games and the hype to get views and is completely oblivious to the fact that he himself continually goes on rants during "quiet" streams where he's like, oh, things will be much better soon with the "hardcore gaming season" and new releases bringing in viewers etc. etc. All his rants, especially the ones about businesses and the like not listening to customers and not updating with the times, are so hypocritical that I find myself at times going back to the "Surely he must just be playing an awful character! No one can be this stupid and unaware!" mindset.
