>>744219442People are losing their jobs. People with families. People with children. People upon whom others depend to put clothes on their back and food on their table. Now they have nothing.

>>744219505
The Double Fine documentaries are like The Office to me. I've been watching these people since 2011 so I am parasocial enough to feel bad for them, even though Tim drove the company off the cliff.
Double fine sucks!point and click games suck!reddit platformer suck!

>>744219505They can always get a job in a different industry anon.
>>744219717Made Psychonaunts and that's about it.
>>744219505This but unironically
>>744219505Lives? At steak.
Im going to do a chud dance
>>744219505They can get a new job
I thought layoffs were only done by evil multi-national multi-billion dollar companies, though?
>>744219968>layoffs were only done by evil multi-national multi-billion dollar companiesNobody said this
>>744220001People like Tim say or imply it every time it happens.
>>744219968There's a difference between laying people off to meet unrealistic shareholder expectations for the next quarter and laying people off to survive as a company. But your chimp brain can't comprehend that.
>>744219442Who?
>>744220058>PEOPLE LIKE Tim say or imply it every time it happensSurely this could be easily proven
>>744219442Sept 2010: Bobby Kotick was completely right about Double Fine. https://www.eurogamer.net/bobby-kotick-slags-off-tim-schafer
>>744219968Microsoft was the only reason they were surviving at this point.
>>744219505>shaming people for not buying a game
I wonder if he fired the DEI hires. In the documentary for one of the KS games after the first Trump election, he's response was to say on camera he would hire more DEI people.
>>744220314Based Bobby. I didn't realize how good we had it under him. I was a libtard back then, kind of like how these posters are:>>744220291>>744220224>>744220001still to this day. I unironically thought smiles, hugs, no crunch time, and letting the creatives run the ship would be a good thing. NOPE. Ruthless male middle managers were the ones keeping gaming good. Turns out, letting the freaks run the asylum was a complete mistake.
Have they tried making good games instead of preachy screeds and things that would better on mobile?
>>744219442Apparently 23 people was 25% of their staff. Their latest game flopped so hard that not even the schizos here bothered to shitpost about it!
>>744219574I still remember that one chick that had a melty in the documentary which may have resulted in the first director of Psychonauts 2 getting fired. Said lady eventually left on her own.
>>744220314Jew on Jew fighting! Kotick was alright for a jew.
>>744220634Only when you have a few middle managers. The second there's managers to manage your managers manager it's kinda fucked no matter how big the company is
>>744219442If you told me that no one worked at Double Fine and it was just a money laundering scheme hatched by Tim where he can be the ideas guy to 10 overworked freelancers I’d believe you.
>>744219783WHAT DOES HE WANT?!HE WANTS SEXHE WILL NEVER STOP
APOLOGIZE /v/
>>744219505These are the same people that celebrate people losing their jobs for refusing a clot shot or not wearing a face diaper.
>>744219505Naw fuck off. You keep shoving Franchise Killers into games thus your games fail.
>>744219505Are you retarded? The studio wasn’t killed by /v/ not buying their games. If you look for someone to blame, blame MS and decades of mishandling their gaming division.
Just make good games, how hard is it?
>>744219442good
>>744220982He honestly should have replaced phil after the actiblizz deal. Motherfucker knew how to run a tight ship!
>>744221045I think standard procedure is to try to shit on your potential customer base, say your game is not for them and then complain about the same group not buying your game when it goes tits up.
>>744220904
>>744219626true truealso, psychonauts had fag characters. western ((developers)) can’t ever help but to fill everything with nog and faggots.
>>744219505Idk maybe it falls on them to think about their families and children when arrogantly deciding to make games nobody is going to like???
>>744221075You'd need a good writer for that.Try finding a man under the age of 50 who knows how to read and write.
>>744219442Shouldn't have let microsoft buy you.
>>744220314Adolescence is hating Kotick because he's a dickhead in an expensive suit.Adulthood is knowing Kotick was right, but still calling him a dickhead in an expensive suit.
https://youtu.be/Wa7S3sjw9z0?is=-OXH6yMU_vrMqbIn
>>744221302if microsoft didn't buy them they would have already shut down
They released 2 games no one has heard of in the 7 years they've been under Microsoft's wing. What were these people they had to let go doing?
>>744221276Maybe if they don't know, care, or bother to research what is it that their audience actually wants then they shouldn't be fucking making games in the first place?????
>microsoft was funding 23 oxygen thieves at doublefineKek
>>744220314>>744220634man it's a little shocking how easy it is to get you incels to simp for big corporations. the ones that you seethe over daily.
>>744221463EA under kotock was a fucking powerhouseNow it's just that shitty sports game company that makes a new battlefield every 5-10 years
>>744219442i liked psychonauts 2. but who bought that fucking game? and the company is so broke they were gonna cut boss fights before microsoft bought them.
>>744219783so they have to work for tips on top of doing daycare for misbehaving robots?
It's funny when these faggots with high income bullshit jobs get fired. Nobody bats an eye when factory workers get fired but I'm supposed to care about a meat paperweight loses their free ticket to luxury?
Oh no. We are going to miss out on the amazing games they make, like....
>>744220982No.It doesn't excuse him spearheading every shitty business practise the industry introduced, then getting away with it because EA always went full retard with them.A few whiny devs getting the gravy train pulled doesn't make up for gutting actually good companies.
So many devs are just working basically corporate welfare jobs at this point.They go half a decade or more with a bloated team to put out slop some indie people could pull off in two years because their livelihood isnt clock watching.Almost all of these devs have done nothing worth of note in over a decade and probably spend tens of millions a quarter farting around.
>>744221560>EA under kotock was a fucking powerhouse>EA
>>744221621>high incomeIt’s Double Fine these guys are getting paid at most 60k a year. Tim probably barely scrapes by 100k, which is not very impressive for a guy with 3 decades of experience.
>>744221463Say the stupid T-slur coded sonic line about videogames libtard
>>744221762Uhhh yeah? He was also the ceo of pic related
>>744219442what games did they make that are good? psychonauts 1?
>>744219442Damn...should have been more.
>>744219505>anon didn't buy the lighthouse crab game eitherThis is your fault.I did nothing.
UNIONIZEDEVS VOICE ACTORS UNIONIZE NOW
Oh NOOOO not *squints eyes*... double fine? huh, Anyways...Mr. Shitface
>>744221580this is the only double fine game ive ever played. I think I bought the early access or something for it and finished my playthrough before 1.0, and never came back. Looking at it now, I don't even remember playing it. I think I enjoyed it well enough for a single playthrough though.
>>744219505Learn to code.
Awesome that they are still in the game though, love double fine.
>>744221463>how easy it is to get you incels to simp for big corporations. the ones that you seethe over dailyEasier than changing a twitter profile picture to a pride flag and getting your support?
You're still losingpeople still eat the slopcorpos are still massiveprices are still going upDEI is still rampant after decadesyour rights are being stripped away
>>744219505guaranteed replies every time
>>744219442The only two things Bobby Kotick was ever right about was that Tim Schafer was a hack and that the government would let the Activision merger go through.
>>744219442
>>744219505SJWs arent people
Shoulda thought about that before you made Psychonauts 2 woke
>>744222462I remember seeing the pyramid with the eye of providence in the trailer and completely wrote the game off as pozzed and satanic. was I right?
>>744219505Unironically replying to this pasta should lend a ban for being underage
>>744219442Go woke go broke
>>744219505>Ask yourself why you take so much joy when others encounter misfortune. Does it make you feel better? Does your life finally have a purpose? Do you feel fulfilled? Do your parents tell you how proud they are of you?Because they started it first.All I wanted to do was play some fucking video games.
>>744219442Psychonauts 2 was greatThen they proceeded to spend the next 6 years making a niche game and friendslopThat's what happens when you make bad decisions
>>744220904KEK
>Broken Age Kickstarter raised 3.3 million dollars>Massive Chalice Kickstarter raised 1.2 million>Psychonauts 2 kickstarter raised 3.8 million >Lets say the Xbox buyout gave them 20 million28.3 million dollars and nothing to show for it. I don’t even think they released a physical copy of Psychonauts 2.
I remember really wanting to and nearly liking costume quest until I realized it wasn't remotely fleshed out enough for a full game. great concept though. a shame
>>744219442Brings a smile to your face, don't it?
>>744219442I would be surprised if it stopped at 23, unless there were only 24 or 25 employees.
>>744219505>>744219442>People are losing their jobs.
>>744222526I don't know because I dropped it about 20% in when Hollis Forsythe started getting the focus
>>744219505>>744219442Why the fuck are the victimblaming?>LETS BLAME THE CONSUMER SURELY THATLL GO WELL this shit just makes me care about them even lessFucking scumbag victimblamers
>>744222191>he thinks corporations are not going to fall for the same shit they preach
>>744222462>>744223019>having an opinion on a game you didn't even fully playyet further proof this place is just incels blindly and impotently screeching about things other told them about
how many people do they even have left?
>>744221580Are we pretending psychonauts 2 wanst successful now? The issue is they keep making games that no one wants instead
>>744222845well they probably spend 10 million a year paying their employees that do absolutely nothing, not even including benefitsI think that answers the question
>>744219442>>744219505we warned you, go woke go broke
So whats the endgame for the games industry then?Where does it end?Hell, where does it end for every industry? This shit seems to be a rolling boulder only going faster downhill and the end seems to be dire.
>>744223190Ya got rused pal
>>744219559Can't believe I saved an AI image but here I am
The Odyssey did incredible however.Chuds lost.
>>744223607I don't know, but i'm having a blast doing absolutely nothing and will continue to do so.
>>744223607don't worry, after 10 years your finally getting another layton game! (they used to make one a year and they did that for 8 games. the industry is doomed with long development times)
>>744223607Eventually they need to realize to end it they need to produce quality content that the people wantSurely they'll realize that right?
>>744219442*DING DONG*Paid vacation of 5(FIVE) FUCKING YEARS is over.Fucking scammers.t. actually played and enjoyed their megaflops like Stacking and Keeper.
>>744223607The future is small teams with 0 ego utilizing AI to make their dream game into a reality.The remaining worthless low value human capital (the remaining 90%) that thought they were good enough to make it in the entertainment industry can go get a real job shoveling human shit or flipping burgers.
>>744219442maybe shouldn't have made trash nobody bought
Why didn't Schafer just take a pay cut so these people could keep their jobs?If he's so confident in the quality of the work at his studio hell make the lost wages back in profit on their next game..Right?
>>744223876get woke go broke lole!
The thumbnail kind of makes the logo look like a totenkopf.
I think the small projects aren't working for them which is sad because their Xbox Live game era with Iron Brigade/Costume Quest/Stacking was kino.
>>744220634>Ruthless male middle managers were the ones keeping gaming good.
>>744219505are they incapable of seeking other forms of employment?
>>744223915I seriously doubt Tim even gets paid that much more, IIRC they have a relatively flat structure from what's covered in the documentary
>>744222526>I remember seeing the pyramid with the eye of providence in the trailer and completely wrote the game off as pozzed and satanicHow pathetic
>>744219442Fuck I really liked their game....... Um I just like them ok!
>>744219559Is that the dude that crashed into the pride parade?
>>744223118>LETS BLAME THE CONSUMERPoint to where they are blaming the consumer
>>744220634Middle management is necessary but it very easily becomes so bloated that it doesn't even solve the problem that it exists for in the first place. Barely any management at all is preferable to ridiculous hierarchies where you need five levels of approval to do anything
Can anyone who actually played their last two games give an opinion on them? Keeper seemed really cool but the pottery game seemed a bit early prototypey
>>744222462It added a queer couple and thats about it right?
>>744219442Learn to pick crops (without shitting in the fields like the third worlders you imported)
>>744223607>So whats the endgame for the games industry then?Same as photography and painting I guess. >anyone can do it so it's no longer viable to fund as a means of propaganda>0.001% of talented creators rise above and become famous (to a much smaller audience)>rich people prop up their friends/colleagues who then become famous (to a much larger audience)
>>744222885They made a 2nd.
>>744224407What a depressing fucking conclusion to what was once something great.
>>744219442I always wondered why Tim Schafer never just said fuck it and make an animated/cgi movie. I'm sure netflix, amazon, or apple would give him a decent budget. I bet it would be pretty good.
>>744224294keeper felt like something that wanted to be a flower / journey-like, but instead was just a sorta bad game... teased you at couple of points that the puzzles might be getting good and then would just stop againbut memorable-ish
How many double fine employees does it take to make a game?We don't actually make games #dontmakegames #gamergate
>>744223607The western games industry as we know it is very clearly dying, it is too costly to make things at the scale and budget that has been normalized and big publishers have been unwilling to scale back and would rather take big bets at the small chance of huge payoffs because that is what (((shareholders))) demand. Smaller independent studios made from the talent falling off of these larger studios will take their place
>>744224309I hope the studio burns
>>744224294>KeeperMasterpiece and the best Scorn-like. Extremely hype ending and they somehow made a better Metroid Morphball section+boss than Nintendo ever managed.>pottery brawlerWhy would you even make this? Even the name is so bad I can not remember it. Should have kept the pottery crafting and made it a friendslop game if they weren't out of touch millennials and older.
>>744219442>>744219505Obvious samefagkys
>>744219442i literally paid into their kickstarter for their point and click adventure game and it sucked ass. i dont really care about this company desu.
>>744223118>victimblamingThis is an SJW term.
>>744219505Those 23 members are lucky they survived this long. DF had to sell the company to get Psychonauts 2 out the door and its a miracle they didn't get shut down after the fact.
>>744219442Fries in the bag.
>>744223607Ubisoft, Xbox Game Studios, and EA will be dead within the decade, the writing is on the wall already they are selling their shit to the same shrinking demographic Sony is slightly better at making what they have work so they will scrape by
lol fuckoff timothy
>>744223915>Why didn't Schafer just take a pay cut so these people could keep their jobs?>If he's so confident in the quality of the work at his studio hell make the lost wages back in profit on their next game..Double Fine bought themselves out of Microsoft ownership. Tim probably leveraged his 1200 sq ft San Francisco house.
>>744219442Oh lookI get to post this again.
>>744224661I think they were chasing the friendslop trend but at 20 bucks it's already like five times more expensive than any successful friendslop
>>744224294Kiln was a fun idea in 2017...Should have just kept the pottery mechanic and made it any other genre.
>>744219505It's an older pasta, sir, but it checks out
>>744224841>claim to only care about profit>go bankruptIf only there was some explanation for this behavior that involves ulterior motivation for making a shit game...
>>744224848Friendslop is coop and light on goals.This thing is like a moba?
>>744223607to change the world in a way that benefits them. What people who say "go woke go broke" don't realize is that woke movies like the new Odyssey or games nowadays are essentially propaganda pieces for ESG scores, investors come, take a look at the product replacing white history with black people and give them billions, or in the case of games, brown mystery meat people everywhere, white men being incompetent, every female being ugly, etc and say "good job, here is your 100 billion from Blackrock"by the time the movie or the game is out, they have already profited, dumb normie retards buying the game is just an afterthought, everyone already got paid and the higher ups got their sweet sweet investor cash, and they'll do it again because it doesn't cost anything, if they kill an industry they'll just move to the next onethe purpose is demoralization, and those investors essentially have infinite money anyway
I don’t understand. Have they even made any video games in the last 10 years?
>>744224976WTF kind of question is that gamergater?
>>744224661>Scorn-like?
Brutal Legend was the last game they made of note, and for all the love, care, detail and soul they poured into that game, it was still a 7/10 at best. The two hours or so are absolutely brilliant though.I wish they made Brutal Legend 2 though, or a movie.
>>744219505Beautiful. As if Schafer himself wrote it
>>744225157I meant the first two hours. The writing and pacing is really tight and well done. It's very clear they spent the most time on the early stages of the game.
>>744225157Yeah it's a shame he got Jack Black back (and Elijah) but didn't use the Microsoft money for Brutal Legend 2. Granted they blew their load with the first one, but it deserved a contuination.
>>744224976they made that one point and click game where you can make this black chick get strangled out by a snake over and over and not die
>>744219442kay, don't carehope tim goes bankrupt and dies alone and unloved
>>744225194>It's very clear they spent the most time on the early stages of the gameBack in the day when you could download a free demo that was the first hour of the game
>>744219505>all these replies not realizing it's pasta
>>744219505Where does this pasta originate?
>>744225352The kitchen.
>>744219505>brown op posted this thread just for this post>will probably post a screencap of this thread on his xitterI hate pajeets so much...
>>744225352it's from back during the first round of tech layoffs like 5 or 6 years ago. can't remember if it was here or reddit.
>>744225204I replayed it two weeks ago and it was like all the good and bad parts of the game stood out way more than when I first played it.It still held up in a way, but mostly because you could tell the entire team poured a ton of genuine love of the whole style, music, art and concept into the game. So what it lacks in simplicity, bad rts elements and unpolished last 1/3 (basically after you defeat the first hair metal dude and race out of the castle to Dragonforce) it makes up for with style, music, art direction and just how well done the whole "cover of an 80's metal album world" is. They totally nailed it.And it's fun watching the credits seeing it's just a handful of nerdy men working on the game too.The intro with Jack Black going into the store, finding the vinyl and it being the menu is really well done too.He could still work in a movie version too.
>>744219442chud here, did they release something woke? not sure if I feel happy or sad that they fired some people
>>744219442womp womp. should've hired more activist fags and trannies like bungie
>>744225519KindaThey made wait like 15 years for Psychonauts 2 only for them to add a forced slow walk humiliation ritual gay wedding scene https://youtu.be/OQBsxkENcmw?t=2685
>>744225487From my memory it definitely dragged before the ending (dry ice mines) but I thought the climax was pretty great. Tim Curry could elevate anything
>>744225741it was pretty cool when it played Painkiller during the final boss
>>744219442Doubkefine has been at the border of backrupcy since the beguining, hiw can they be so mismanaged?
>>744225695They added a forced slow walking section to Psychonauts?! The audacity.
I post on a niche hobby forum where Tim Shafer also has an account. The first time I saw him post I had to restrain myself from chimping out and calling him a faggot because while funny, it would probably lead to me being banned.News like this is painful to read. Not because I give a shit about San Fran dangerhairs losing xer jobs, but because I desperately want to rub it in Timmy Boy's fat faggot face in a place that he uses to relax and unwind.
>>744225695Ok yep, well deserved layoffs.
>>744219442Good riddance niggers. >>744219505I masturbate to your tears. Cope tranny.
>>744219717Got a bunch of kickstarter money to do a point amd click adventure and they took to long and underdelivered.
>>744225695>fat bald loser with overbearing mother becomes a closet fag then an alcoholic out of shame for his homosexuality>reveal of his secret gay wedding is immediately preceded by a giant skull hidden in the giant fag cakeWow look at this wokeslop
>>744225695>player tries to jump>Raz's feet are literally glued to the groundYou WILL respectfully attend the gay marriage
>>744225741He was really good. Another mistake they made in the game was basically only use his units for promotional stuff, but then only have them right at the start of the game and during the final battle.You're fighting hair metal versions of your own units and goths 99% of the game
>>744219442Oh no, we had virtue signal the firing of 23 welfare recipients
>>744219442It's hard for me to feel any empathy. I work in consulting and I have clients. They need something done and done fast, and I provide that. If I don't, they won't come to our firm again. Most Western vidya devs do fuckall for years and cry online when they have to crunch, but the crunch is just another man's routine outside of that baby industry. They can burn so much investor money with zero results to show for it, it is absolutely insane. If they wanted to do fuckall and have job security, they should have tried to get a job as a civil servant. Again, really hard to feel any empathy.
>be Tim Schafer>run a poorly managed studio of hipsters in the most expensive city in the World>somehow survive>whore yourself to Microsoft for free shekels, yay no need to work again!>you are kicked out, go back to square one>"Oh Im afraid Ill need to fire half of these hipsters, Im so sorry"
>>744219505Look, I’m not judging; if you want to make money from games, you’d better please as many people as possible, usually with sex. But if you want to make games for the sake of art and ideology, you’d better be rich, or else you’ll go hungry.
They can still make Brutal Legend 2 and have Jack with a giant grey beard like his dad's character is shown to have.Only problem is Ozzy and Lemmy are dead....
>Kotick simps existlol
>>744226445He said that to encourage Deutsche Bank investors right during the middle of the global financial crash. He literally saved the company while you woke libtards ruined everything with your gay shit and 10 year long development times about a kettle and a handbag getting gay married or some shit. IN THIS BOARD WE RESPECT BOBBY
>>744226086I have a high tolerance for woke but it was pretty painful seeing the newly hired Community Manager 'Riley' (now Harper Jay MacIntyre (formerly known as Heather Alexandra) formerly Jay MacIntyre) press the "launch" button for Psychonauts 2 in front of all the devs who actually worked on the game

>>744219505it's pasta, but the point still standsi just aint buying it!
>>744219505Don't care Mr. Shitface
3.3 million layoffs...
>>744219442I wonder if this will make them remember they have to actually make a video game people want to buy. Well in their case they need to first remember to start making games first
>>744224940>olderholy fuck I hate zoomers
>>744226445>NO YOU CAN'T JUST SAY HE WAS RIGHT IN SAYING SCHAFER IS A HACK YOU'RE SIMPING I MUST PROJECT MY OWN PARASOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS ON YOU BECAUSE I WANT TO SUCK COCKS AND EAT SHIT OF PEOPLE I TAKE OPINIONS FROM
>>744220670As soon as I saw the trailer I knew it’d flop. A super niche indie game but at AA pricing. The X360/PS3 days are over; Games like that don’t do big numbers anymore.Cutting costs, scope and subsequently price is the only way forward for them.
>>744219505>copy and paste this into google>tells you call the suicide hotlinelmfao
>>744223607>So whats the endgame for the games industry then?Full reboot. I shouldn't even be saying this, but there's an underground, indie scene of gaming that is based EXCLUSIVELY around creating and swapping original physical cartridge-based games. Kind of like the "zine" movement. But for obvious gatekeeping reasons, you aren't going to see that shit mentioned openly because the troons would ruin that too.
>>744226953It's a Star Wars reference, you dip
>>744223607I don't careThere are enough games released already that I could spend the next 200-300 years casually playing through every single game rated above 8/10 and still have some left.I don't need to buy another game in my entire life. The industry (specifically the western companies) are heading towards a fire, and I'm just here to watch the fireworks.
>>744219505Non-essential artist and art-adjacent jobs.
>>744219442>our transitionAre they going to start walking with a cane soon?
>>744225851Now is the time to rub it in that faggots face.
I'm surprised it took this long to be honest their entire lifespan has been just coasting off of psychonauts while making games no one fucking playsI saw that kiln game for HALF OFF already and it came out like 2 months ago
>>744219505This pasta may be stale but it hits the spot every time.
double fine always struck me as the annoying theater kids of the game industry
>>744227702>their entire lifespan has been just coasting off of psychonautsPsychonauts was a massive commercial failure, they lost a ton of money making it. I have no idea how they've maintained financial solvency all these years but it sure as shit wasn't from Psychonauts.
>>744221463i don't like kotick or schafer.
>>744227761that's an accurate description
>>744223607Look man, a lot of things are happening at the same time right now, and while they're sometimes connected through second or third order consequences, this cutting of fat should have happened a decade ago. The wordlwide economy is has been in a recession for years now and big publishers cannot afford to run the adult daycare for Californian dickheads any longer. Many western media producers have been running at a loss simply to push an agenda, able to tank the financial hits through government, or investor hand-outs, grants, what-have-you. Those times are seemingly over and the fact that the entire AAA gaming industry is tightening its belt like this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.They'll have to go back to creating games that people want to play, but a lot of talent has retired, or been replaced for diversity hires. I think a lot of these big publishers/dev teams have lost the ability to create anything of high quality because they've simply not invested in their skills the last decade and the new blood has been fed the koolaid since they've been in school.Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of recognized names go under the coming years.
>>744219505Weirdly high effort larp

>>744226749are you sure? do you think he was fucking little boys or little girls on epstein's island?
>>744219442Double Fine hasn't made a single good game these past two decades, I'm surprised they're still even around.
>>744228778elites who constantly put their hubris on display like he always has are the most likely so I say yeah probably.
These parasites need to leave the industry. Once all the bloodsuckers leave the industry, then we can heal.
>>744220314we owe him an apology he's an oldschool kind of jew, nepotistic and greedy, but he also knew what he was doing
>>744228887Sorry anon, but the way the industry, or any industry, can heal is by burning it to the ground and planting new seeds.
>>744228778>do you think he was fucking little boys or little girls on epstein's island?Definitely the latter. Epstein wasn't into boys and he didn't seem to intentionally invite people who were.
Finally I have the perfect use for this thumbnail.>It's over.

Even when they're on the street begging for change and offering head to get their next fix, they still won't admit why they failed.
Double Fine could fire Tim Schafer and lose nothing. It’s just another Second Wind situation.
>>744229523>they still won't admit why they failed.Why is that?
>>744229523they failed because the people who run it have zero business sense and the only reason they stuck around for so long is because they coasted off of Psychonauts goodwill for a while.
We’re never getting another good Psychonauts game, are we?
>>744229765Because they see natural beauty and think it's something to be constructed socially and not something to be captured and refined.>>744229836Business sense isn't hard - just appeal to white/asian heterosexual men.
>>744229983None of my gay contacts liked the gay storyline in Psychonauts 2.
>>744219505>Fuck you.>Just fuck you.I have an instinctual revulsion to people who type like this but I can't remember from where or when it started.
>>744229983>Business sense isn't hardit's too hard for dudes like Tim who can't manage cash flows
>>744221301>Try finding a man under the age of 50 who knows how to read and write.I still need a job at 50 after being fired due to AI so... why does everyone think I'm dead?
>>744230078The weird thing is that he types with the coherency of a human being, but you can tell by the barely-restrained, vicious bloodlust that he’s channeling into performative outrage defending a known con artist that there’s something really wrong there.
>>744230018Attractiveness flows in one direction.
>>744219783Fucking lmao
The fact they had 90 people working there making shit like Keeper and Kiln for years on somebody else's dime really goes to show how mismanaged Microsoft's developers were.>>744221025Two more weeks until the vaccines start killing people very true sir.
>>744229983>Because they see natural beauty and think it's something to be constructed socially and not something to be captured and refined.Is this a Jaden Smith tweet?
>>744222526Nigga when he sees a dollar bill
>>744230170It's a very clearly sarcastic copypasta
>>744219505They don't make games for me, so why should I buy them?
>>744219442>cultureso basically the deis and not the developers
>>744226563>respecting an Epstein's frienddisgusting.
>>744219505noooo... not the beloved creators of psychonauts and... *checks notes* psychonauts (censored)!!!
>>744219442no, not my quirky corporation that eats up "indie" devs, thus no longer making them indepdently produced, but still claiming to be indie anyway, that's so heckin' bad :(
>>744230938>noooo they censored a bad word! Save me Knighterman!
Try releasing games
>>744219783this shit is fucking frying me hhaha the way theyre trying to restrain him and he just wont stop fucking schmooving
>>744219442Good, Psychonauts 2 was a huge letdown
>>744219442>lets take 5 years to make a 3 hour "experience" instead of psychonautus 3why werent they closed down again?I liked the gameplay bits in keeper, but fuck me it takes like 90 minutes for the game to start get going and then its over before it even starts.
>>744228996The asef masturbation really drove me crazy watching this. Fucking annoying sadsack.
>>744230938>knightadd it to the list
>>744231346
>>744231286forgot image of this "gaming experience"
>>744231338It's kind of cute seeing a camera operator becoming a game dev, and the subjects of the documentary finally getting to address the people making it. Plus he made the only good level of Psychonauts 2. But yeah lots of backpatting and patronizing.
>>744231346It's been on the list since Dark Souls 3
>>744231213this is the first time ive ever seen someone try to retrain a machine. normally people just back away and try to find the off switch
>>744219442That's doubly fine by me!

>>744223607>oh nyooo the studio that made some nonsense I wouldn't even play for free is gone >can gaming survive?!Make stuff people actually want to play. Whiny idiot.
>>744224841How many of the people who turn up their nose at "oh, they care about making a profit" pay wages for random people who don't do anything for them? Like why are you not paying me right now to do nothing? Care too much about money, you greedy cunt?
>>744230938This means somebody had to type slurs into the code to detect them. Whoever typed them should be exposed and ruined.
>>744219442Go Woke, Go Broke
>>744219442The staff that worked on Kiln... gone... Like dust in the wind. Like shards on the floor. Like ash in the oven.
>>744219442Psychonauts 2 wasn’t good
>>744223607It ends with all production being outsourced to India and China because they will work for $5/day and sell you a game at $20.

>>744219442Why doesn’t Tim Schafer just open up an animation studio? He seems more interested in stories than gameplay?
>>744219505I wonder how many of these replies realize it's a pasta?

>>744235758This pretty muchGame Devs and studios forgot that they owe their audience for their success and not the other way around.The slop will keep flopping until morale improves.
>>744219442>Leftist game dev studio>The moment things get difficult, they immediately start laying people off rather than taking a collective pay cut.lmao
I enjoy how this does not even remotely impact projects that are in development. Instead of half the team of working 3 hours a day and half the team baking muffins and pumping headcount for some middle management tyrant people will have to do their day jobs 7.5 hours a day like every other industry on earthLike there are tech guys who were VERY used to 2 hour lunches who are learning that other types of professionals actually eat a sandwhich in 30 minutes and then go back to work. Amazing
>>744220314Why did he call Kotick a prick?

>>744219442S to spitMr Shitface never made a good game.
>>744231794makes sense here since it's not bolted down to anything so as long as you can keep it from gaining needed friction it's mechanical strength doesn't mean much and keeping it from wandering around is relatively easy.
>>744219442>leftist get told to work or your business will go bankrupt>choose go bankrupt and fuck all those devs/artists.oh well brutal legend 2 never ever.

>>744223857
This is what happens when. You br a game studio that doesn't actually make games.
>>744230938i sincerely believe this is the most succinct explanation of the fundamental problem of lame coastal commie typesi played the game and in the spirit of juvenile enjoyment typed 'nigger' then and therehad that been the end of it, i would have moved on without even committing the event to long-term memorybut i could not actually type that and so i did remember it, and then i thought about what was done, how it was done, and why it was done
>>744241257he sucked. all talk and no action
>Make garbage>Also flip off your original customer base while making garbage>Expects sympathy when they go bankruptHaha nope
I hope you cocksuckers are fucking happy. You fucking young millennial and/or zoomer pieces of shit. You fucking dis this. And for what? You won't buy good games because sime girl somewhere won't fuck you because your not entitled to her pussy? I hope you know death and pain and you beg for help. Im just going be staring at you stone cold, lift up my shirt and show you it's all wires and circuitry. Just no patience or sympathy for you empathicless fucks.

>>744219505I feel like I've seen this exact post before, but I'm too lazy to check the archives to be sure.
>>744219505Honestly, I never understood why people get upset over layoffs at Amazon, Google, Meta, Oracle, and other large corporations.Those workers knew who they're working for and still took the job and pay.Seems like the people who worry about those job losses are also the first to complain about the economy collapsing while advocating socialism and ending capitalism.

>>744241257He was pretty bad, but Tim was worse for hiring someone to do all the hard stuff.
>>744219442Oh no! Hey socko, what do we do now?
>>744219442Every fifth Double Fine game was maybe good. That was over a decade ago with Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, and Candy Quest They can't keep a studio open with games like Keeper and Kiln or afford to keep making games as big as Psychonauts 2. I wouldn't doubt those lamenting the layoffs don't even buy their games.

What the fuck has Double Fine even done? I've never played any of their games, but they seem fucking cringe as fuck.
>>744219505It's based because it's how Zion Don makes America great again
>Xbox literally saves them from bankruptcy>barely get out Psychonauts 2 and then shit out two games after half a decade that are immediately forgotten about>second Xbox cuts the strings they start firing people anyway

>>744247530They're one of those eternal game jam daycares that spends a lot of other people's money sitting on their asses in California occasionally putting out something that you'd expect from an Eastern European solo dev. Their latest game has 147 Steam reviews and they probably spent $10m+ making it.
>>744219442What's Double Fine made recently?
go wokego broke

>>744222049fun fact, the old commies would put the new ones in concentration camps, if not just kill them for being "queer"
Double fine never really made money, Xbox buying them gave them like 5 extra years but that's the reality of all the devs that Xbox had to fire people from. If you werent making any money why should they keep you around? Now Double fine had to fire their own since they couldnt keep the lights on themselves.
>>744248070Why is Marathon and High guard their 24 hour peak while the rest are their all time peaks? Also isnt Mixtape funded by Larry Ellison, a known right wing conservative that's currently using his wealth to push MAGA and right wing conservatism? How is that woke?
>>744248841Man, only one more wave of executions, gulags and purges, and we would have had communist paradise. No greed, no profits, just happiness.
>>744229931Our only hopes is that Tim gets so desparate for money he sells the IP away
>>744249228Larry Ellison set up a funding to give his children money to build their own projects, he let them do whatever they wanted His daughter wasted it making woke slop, she and all the developers and reviewers shilling it are woke
>>744248461>>744248641It does, our opponents have bigger wallets is all
>>744219442okay but are they going to make a good game at some point or what
>>744223607This is like asking if the dollar will completely lose its value. It'll never happen. Ever. If any of you genuinely believe gaming will crash you are incredibly retarded. The whole industry is bigger than movies and music combined. You'll forever have kusoge as long as blackrock can print money.Raj having 6 month online course in blender can replace any dev in Cali. They never had value to begin with.
>>744219442>>744219505time to get to maccas
>>744219574>Get brought out by Microsoft >Can make whatever they want>Tim: "Pitch me your most un-pitchable game, and we'll make that!">They make Kiln and Keeper. Idiotic ideas nobody wants. Neither even gets 1,000 concurrent players>The infinite money glitch runs out>HOW COULD THIS BE HAPPENING TO ME!?The fact that they didn't use Microsoft's resources to make something great, something they couldn't make by themselves (like they needed help to get Psyconauts 2 done) is fucking INSANE.
>Double Fired
>>744222065I played the demo and liked it, so I backed it on Kickstarter. Then before it finished I played my first Fire Emblem game and from then on, the entire genre of "You create the story :^)" SRPGs died for me. Turns out the ones where the characters are actually characters, where they have actual personalities and stories and their deaths mean something, hits me a lot harder. I never even played the actual game in the end.
>>744222321He got a lot right about CoD, too. Don't forget Activision was about to go under before he saved it.
>>744224309Made Maligula into a dindu. And the whole "Psychonauts is about healing" thing, as if the first game hadn't cracked plenty of jokes at the crazies.
>>744225157The funny thing with Brutal Legend is that Double Fine had to be talked into adding the parts of it that everyone likes. The original vision was just the RTS stuff.

>>744251385It's amazing how many times they've been bailed out, but squandering the Microsoft opportunity might be the dumbest of all.
>>744219505that's good pasta.
> some autist in his basement makes a game in a weekend, in a cave with a box of scraps > 2 gazillion dollars and overwhelming praise> studio with 200 employees sinks tens of millions into a game> financial loss and mediocre reviews
>>744219442Good.Karma for Spacebase DF-9
>>744219505You are not entitled to my money you tremendous faggot. These people had all the time money and talent and they wasted it making fucking trash video games.None of that is my fault just make a good game without a bunch of ugly women and trannies.Hell project silverfish is made with assets by one dude and he pulled more cash then all the studios cut by MS. Do as you are told or quit the industry this is the mandate from the market.

>>744220634that's a foolish take. if endless DEI money from blackrock was flowing back then, Kotick would have gone all in. it just so happened that, back then, companies had to make good games instead of relying on investor handouts and MTX revenue, so even the worst of the worst got their shit together instead of basically scamming players at every turn

>>744251385>release Spacebase DF-9 early access>???>uhhh we forgot to finish making this, fuck it, it's v1.0 now, no refundsFrom what I recall, Tim was pissed that it wasn't selling enough in early access so he just dropped the 1.0 and moved on.
>>744219442I recently got laid off from the game industry too.Can't find a job since.Probably gonna be an hero when I use up all my savings.

>>744226583Imagine even knowing who the fuck the community manager for any company is.Log off and play games.
>>744255391But I want to stay in the game industry.I want to make games.I fucking hate going back to a job just to survive.I'm too tired for that shit.
>>744255552you can't always get what you want
>>744255552>wah, i can't sit on my ass and collect a paycheckplease go and stay go.
>>744256248>sit on my assI don't want to sit on my ass.I want to make games.I want to be creative.
>>744255552Just make an indie game. Easier than ever now. You can always pretend you didn't use vibecoding, they're not gonna now, everyone does it>but I want to stay in the game industryI've never seen a human being who likes this gay ass industry. The industry is the worst part about making games
>>744256968>Just make an indie gameThat's what I'm doing now, and it's failing super hard.I can't even get 100 wishlists after a month.
>>744257209What genre/style?
>>744257280All I can tell you is that it's shit because I'm just a solodev that can't even do art properly.Also, it's surprisingly hard to market a game.
>>744221717yep, right on the money

>>744219505Those people have no bearing on my life.You and your opinions of me have no bearing on my life.I will never find myself in the same situation because I work in the vital sector as pertains to healthcare, which is always in demand and always will be even in the midst of the post-apocalypse. Cry about it.
>>744219442well they struggle to release indie quality games with million dollar budgets within set time frames so this isn't a surprise
>>744226445he was right and the longer the games industry goes down its current path he will continue to be proven right
>>744220634It was right wingers (retarded businessmen) who fucked everything up first with their business models and hiring practices, you are a goy :)
Kiln and keeper where surprisingly good games.Still, I hope Tim has learned his lesson and is going to take accountability for his actions and accept that he runs a business first and can't just keep making passion projects.
>>744249228>right wing conservativehahah you still think there's a left and right
