I don't think they're gonna make 3.3 million again in this economy.

last game i backed for double fine was psychonauts 2 , which ended up getting game pass release day 1, which invalidated any ownership of the game, I also had to pay EXTRA for it to be a pc copy of the game through their kickstarter fig funding thing

never agian, dont recommend. they will do some last minute game pass or psn plus agreement that gives out the game for free to everyone after you paid for it ahead of time

Anon, literally every fucking normalfag will gapeface at the mention of shit like Psychonauts or Grim Fandango. And that means pretty much the entire industry as well as every community that’s not 4chan. Ol’ Timmy boy is the kind of name that they’re never going to NOT worship no matter how much of a has-been he becomes, because he commands their nostalgia and shares their politics.

Being in an echochamber of one of the few places that rightfully hates him doesn’t mean your obliviousness is reality.

I DO want that, but is a two warranted? I remember one wrapped itself up pretty well. Then again it’s been years, so I don’t remember if there was a cliff hanger.

I absolutely love the old LucasArts classics, but Double Fine has never made a good game. Yes, that includes Psychonauts.

>Tim Curry dies
>Doublefines uses this as a promotional stunt to make Brutal Legend on itch free for a short period, and then on sale for $6.66

Did Double Fine kill Tim Curry so they could get more modern publicity for Brutal Legend?
It's not even a good game, it never was
>>
>>746637460
So let me get this straight, they did a(n annual) game jam within their studio and they're asking you to vote for the next 2 weeks for a small coffee break game they can finish. There is no limit to this kickstarter, so they essentially are raising an infinite amount of money. There are different pledge tiers, so if you pay the least amount(which is $15 by the way) you get a HALF vote. Of course the more you pay the more your vote matters.
This is the kind of money scam on the level of DarkSydePhil.

it is literally what investors and publishers do all the time. they’re probably hoping to have their cake and eat it too because once they have a good prototype they have much better leverage with publishers

They've consistently had some modest successes until recently and I can only assume they aren't overpaying themselves which is the other reason Double Fine have made it this far. Psychonauts 2 was five years ago so this is probably shaping up as the worst financial period in the companies history with no success since and seemingly no plan forward.
