If he's thinking nothing of dropping a grand on an event, and then $800 on a following one, it's safe to say that, at the very least, the vest streak money went straight to Scopely. That's at least $70k total.
From about late March 2018 to late January 2020 Phil was spending at least $1,750 per month on WWE Champions.

We're sure about that? How? It's not a ridiculous notion, like I said, if he drops $1k for one event and then almost as much for the next one, sure, of course he could do that in a month. I just don't understand how this all breaks down. Scopely seems to make it deliberately confusing.
They do, but if you want to get a sense, we can be reasonably certain he's spent at least $40k to get to his current VIP level. Then recall he's whaled in Supercard, Dokkan Battle, and potentially others. $100k is not out of the realm of possibility.

Yes, but I think the math works out so that 8 to 13 isn't that much more than 1 to 13. From looking at the chart I remember thinking it seems to cost about as much to go up one VIP level as all previous levels combined.

Oh, yeah what I meant by "that's not taking into consideration what he spent on the game prior to March 2018" is that because it probably only costs around $1,200 to get from VIP level 1-8 there was likely a period of time where Phil had hit the old VIP level cap but was still spending on the game, so we have no way to account for that other than guessing.
The thing is, he's not addicted to sweaty men, he's addicted to gambling.
Well no harm in guessing, as long as we have an idea of what's to be expected of someone who has hit the max level and keeps playing without missing a day, because that's Phil.
Speculative as it may be, I feel comfortable adding it to the $40k. Unless you have some shocking news for me, that being that it's possible to put an absolutely ridiculous number of hours into this garbage without spending a penny. Like I said, Phil hasn't missed a day of playing, so whatever is reasonable for a whale over the course of 365 days, I say we can call that the bare minimum for an experienced one with no shame, no conscience, and plenty of disposable income.
I honestly find that odd as shit, the appearance of not caring about such things while being such a long-time fan of wrestling. I mean, he wasn't notorious as a teenager, and even after his days in the FGC he wasn't THAT fucking infamous yet, what could possibly have stopped him from going to a few wrestling events? Unless those are stories I missed, I don't know of any he has told of doing anything like that. The only shit I hear about is the stuff that obviously never happened. If he claimed he was there when the Undertaker dumped Mankind off the top of the cage at Hell in the Cell back in the day, I actually would've believed that, it makes sense.
Im sorry to ask this for what has to be the 59th time. But, are we sure he *had* to pay for this? Like $40,000 is fucking dumb. How does any company do that with a straight face? Like could he have done some gameplay grinding, I know its Phil, but, today I am feeling generous.Yes, but I think the math works out so that 8 to 13 isn't that much more than 1 to 13.

So if you look at the chart and add the lowest amount again to account for all previous VIP levels it's probably a good approximation for what VIP 1-13 costs.r/WWEChampions - Cost to advance each VIP Tier

That would be $38,967 + $1,247 (to account for VIP 1-8)= $40,214, or approximately $40K.
You obviously never watched a video of a gachashit game, even the most generous ones will try to persuade you to spend money, the one Phil plays just happens to be one of the most predatory ones.
VIP levels arent grindable. They are strictly based on how much money youve sunk into the game. The $40,000 number is entirely accurate for how he reached VIP 13. Even if he magically rolled every single wrestler with nothing but free currency, he would still have sunk 40k at minimum into Champions.
It blows me away that the thing Phil is willing to save up for (it's not like he raked in $1300 in tips yesterday, after all) isn't even something nice for himself, it's to play this garbage game.
