He's legit fucking himself so hard because he's being desperate enough to guilt and plea for his Twitch fans to just fork over $400 dollars daily (this is insane) but he's doing NOTHING to improve it otherwise. What a parasite.
I really think he's out of ideas, and is putting the workload on his viewers daily, while he sits on his ass all day taking credit. Sound familiar? Dude hasn't used that noggin' to beat a videogame so I cant see him figure himself out here. Dude is almost done if he thinks he can keep this up without actually giving back to his audience that doesn't just involve a "shout-out".
Desperate? No. Phil is not panicking here. Despite the fact that losing his partnership is very much a sign that it's time for him to grow the fuck up, the pigroach is treating this the same way he treats being behind on taxes, or getting a false DMCA take-down by a crazy asshole, or any number of things that aren't actually happening but his retards find believable. Why? Because even this isn't severe enough. That's how fucking thick-headed he is. Life is going to have to smack him way harder to get him to stop his grifting bullshit for even a moment.
And let me just say, it's not that he talks about support not being good enough. Plenty of people who rely upon others buying their shit find themselves announcing to their fans that it has been a fun ride, but it looks like it's coming to an end, because there just aren't enough of them. That isn't Phil's situation, nor would his behavior qualify as anything other than greasy even if it were.
Phil is pretty much never being honest when it comes to his talk of doom and gloom. That by itself would be bad enough, but what makes it so much worse is the fact that he puts the onus for that on his fans. No one is making Phil do this for a living other than him. He is so lucky to have this option, and he can't be bothered to be fucking honest about it, or grateful for it.
He does not say shit like the above to be transparent and real with the people who support him. He says it to guilt-trip them. He says it to pretend there's a crisis, and there's always the veiled threat of it being their fault because they didn't give him enough of their money. If I start a bakery, and for whatever reason, don't generate enough business, I thank the customers I had, tell them the truth, and close up shop. That's it. In times where it looks bad, if people ask how business is, I tell them, but other than that, I try to turn things around with some dignity and integrity, not fucking guilt-tripping. And I especially don't make shit up about being in danger when I'm just being fucking greedy.
This is why we call you a pigroach, Phil. If we could think of a more insulting name, we would.
How disappointed do you think Phil was when he realized tips meant in game tips, and not the monetary kind
The hope of squeezing the monetary kind out of him during a stream is the only reason Phil didn't get pissed and block him for breaching protocol and holding his hand via Twitter, where there is no paying him to read your messages.
