He even admitted that the same lack of rage happened the last time he did a rage-a-thon. It's almost as if that kind of reaction can't be manufactured. From the bit of Tevin's restream I watched, Phil wasn't even trying to fake the rage. He just seemed bored and uninterested in the games. Maybe if he wants to use these marathons to raise money for his neverending financial crisis, he should come up with something that he actually gives a shit about.

Yeah, I definitely caught that he wasn't interested in the games he was playing in the short time I watched the stream. As a viewer, nothing puts one off more with a streamer than knowing they don't want to play the game(s), especially for someone with as little interaction with the viewers at it is.

And it's not as if this is an uncommon thing. Tune into any of his streams and there's a good chance you'll see him slumped back on his couch, yawning and looking bored out of his mind. If it's pointed out to him that he seems disinterested with the game, he'll likely blame chat for not interacting with him, or he'll blame his fans for picking out the game. As the host of the stream (you know, the one making 100 grand a year to play video games for an audience) it's obviously not his responsibility to keep things entertaining.

Sometimes, I'll pop into his stream, just to see what he's playing, but I end up leaving after like five minutes because of the above. I watched SF5 a little more than usual to hear his tired old "this game is eating my inputs/the lag is horrible/this game is shit" spiel, but it didn't last much longer than the five minutes.
