Listening to Phil talk about DBD earlier today and it's just really baffling to me how out of touch he is with gaming in general and also just... logic.
Timestamped at 39:07 if you'd like to listen.
1) Dead by Daylight is dead because it's... old? LoL is over 10 years old - over twice the age of DBD - and is still going strong. Same with WoW, CS:GO, Hearthstone, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch, and a ton of other games that just continuously receive updates. How does he not know how these things work? He used to return to Overwatch all the time and still goes back to Warzone.
2) Isn't it kind of a big deal that the game is getting a crossover with the biggest horror franchise on the planet, in addition to it's other collaborations with the other biggest horror franchises on the planet, including other games like Silent Hill? Wouldn't Resident Evil fans (like Phil) be more interested in DBD now that there's all this Resident Evil content in the game?
3) It's ironic then that Phil is also just totally fine with playing Super Turbo over and over considering it's also a dead game. What about when he was playing Minecraft? What about when he replayed Mass Effect 2 last year, or any time he replays an older game? What's the point, it's a dead game nobody thinks about anymore, right?
4) Really telling too that Phil has basically no idea what popular games to stream were when he was on a platform that clearly lists what games are popular to stream. DBD was the 17th most streamed game in the past month, beating out other titles like Hearthstone, Rocket League, Overwatch, and Black Ops Cold War. Seems like a game people want to watch, doesn't it?
I'm not going to demand that Phil play DBD or whatever (though I would find it pretty funny), but it's his reasoning for it that is just really amusing to me. I get that it's a disposable excuse and it's just him pigsplaining to me a bunch of bullshit that doesn't make sense, but Phil really does have no idea what he's talking about with most everything.
