I don't get why he keeps buying new games. Why not visit some classics?

Pretty sure he believes that if he keeps playing the "hot" new releases, he'll profit from (as he puts it) "day one views".

I've said this several times and I'll say it again: being a "variety" streamer is actually hurting him. It breaks up his viewer retention. People who come to see him play fighting games, are not at all the same people who come to see him play DragonQuest Builders.

Of course there is going to be overlap, no one person only likes one genre, but Phil would be so much better off sticking to a niche. He should stick to fighting games and maybe Soulsborne games, since they always seem to draw a good amount of viewership. I also feel like not picking up games like The Surge/The Surge 2, Remant: From the Ashes and Code Vein were HUGE missed opportunities for him. Instead he went with Borderlands 3, which he was not enjoying and people were getting bored with, because the viewer interactions were low at best.

Phil seems to fail to realize, that Twitch is the store, and the streamers are the product. If someone shopping in the store doesn't like product A, they'll go with product B. If you see that people aren't buying your product, you'll have to adapt and change it. This is something Phil never does (understand?) even though he has a business degree.
