Microsoft's first party studio DOUBLE FINE just released their new game, and it's a massive success!

ban steam charts threads

Hey, it beat Dustborn.

Sad. Been excited for Kiln since Amnesia Fortnite, but it got screwed with unfortunate marketing and a saturated market.

I think it's time to filter out the phrase "ban steam charts threads" and transfigure into "A couple of steam charts threads are fine, actually. Unless there have been so many wokeflops released this month that each wokeflop requires its own steamcharts graph wokeflop analysis thread."
>>
Such a nothingburger failure that these threads actually have less posts than players
>>
>>737606967
Steam is a woke platform so your woke hate spam is pointless and contradictory to your cause
>>
Damn they're Kiln' it.
>>
>>737607014
I don't think about video games much anymore but steam allows all sort of bilgic cancer on its platform as well as actual works. Also, how each game discussion forum goes is up to the individual developer, is it not? Outside of flagrantly illegal speech, Valve will not intervene.

I'm still confused on how this studio survives under microslop for so long. Despite Tango's flaws they were a far better value than Doublefine

DoubleFine has true talent in their art department, but someone needs to grab them in a chokehold and force them to make platformers like Psychonauts 2.

Keeper (and what I have seen from Kiln) looks really good but at the end of the day it's a genre nobody fucking plays, a walking simulator.

These guys should have been the new Rare by now. But the heads of the studio prioritize being quirky over making good games.

hope every microjeet product continues to flop and that freak ceo they have blows his brains out

>Despite Tango's flaws
Tango deleted themselves, by the time Hi-Fi released, the heads of the studio had abandoned the ship like 4 months prior. And the rest of Tango got ought by Krafton.

I haven't even seen this on showcases for smaller games. Rip double fine.

Who do they think the target audience for this shit they keep making is? I can't believe they released a multiplayer game. They seriously do not have the manpower to keep an online game going. I don't think they can survive unless Microsoft gives them one of the IPs they own to make a game for. Their original ideas are frankly just fucking stupid.

The environments in Keeper are massive and you just walk through them in a few seconds. Not a good use of development time for a small studio.

I can't believe it's 2026 and I'm witnessing an adult complaining that a children's video game wasn't made for him.

The human race is doomed.
>>
>>737607982
Do you really think Keeper is a children's video game? Did you even play it? It's made for millennial art majors
>>
>>737607447
They literally all vote liberal and all donate to democrats at Valve

10/10 visuals
1/10 gameplay
That's Double Fine, except psychonauts
>>
I think it looks neat, but it was always going to be niche.
The only time I can think of buying it would be to play with family, but 1: I don't have a console, and 2: I don't play video games with my family, because we go out and do other things.
From what I understand, they've wanted to make this for a while. I respect that they're using this time under Microsoft to do whatever they want.

People don't want to admit steam is dying and kids are on roblox so steam is a aging millennial base
>>
>>737608486
The only original games that sell on steam are roguelike trash that waste your time. It's over.

Capitalism is dying in general. Trump/Republicans, Israel, The Epstein class and techno oligarchs are going to start putting the chains back on us now that we're done creating a society for them.

I always got the feeling the Double Fine team is in the business of making video games. But doesn't like actually making (or playing) gamey games.

A symptom that started with leadership, and has since spread to the rest of the studio.

The Psychonaut sequel and remaster were more of a break glass in event of emergency funding. And people who had a hand in making things like Trenched are probably long gone.

>>737606785
Reminder microsoft went the hardest into queer capitalism and are paying the hardest for their mistake.

>>737606785
does this fit into the concordian timeline?
>>
Let's be real here. This game didn't fail because of DEI or whatever. Nobody has ever heard of this piece of shit before.
>>
>>737610632
it was shown at a number of showcases but there's no audience for this kind of game
>>
>>737610632
it had a 15 minute reveal inbetween forza and fable
>>
I remember having to playtest keeper, i wanted to persona myself.
>>
>>737610632
Many people watched the trailers but everybody ignored it because it's the most pathetic friendslop ever made
>>
>>737608486
I think it's more that there's so many dogshit indie games releasing every day that people don't look at new releases or clock out instantly when they see something mediocre looking.
>>
>>737608396
game pass filler
>>
>>737608396
they aren't marketing these games at all. even indie devs have better campaigns. what the fuck are they doing?
>>
>>737611214
>friendslop
friendshit works better
>>
>>737608360
Psychonauts sucks too. You guys overhyped that dogshit.
>>
Studio is artificially kept alive by Microsoft, so they pump out any slop without worrying about being shut down.
>>
>>737613778
Microsoft leadership must be beyond braindead because they've shut down much better games and studios.
>>
>be adventure game developer
>make friendslop because you wanna cash in on Peak's popularity
>>
>>737606960
relooted sounds like what they'd call a Borderlands remake
>>

>Microsoft leadership must be beyond braindead
That's news to you?
