Sellouts. Following Rare’s footsteps.
So long freedom of design. Hello MS overloard. Goodbye DF teams (slowly breaks off with disenfranchised employees). The deer in headlights look on the Psychonauts preview team E3 said it all (right around the time of the merger, still reeling about the take-over).
Tim’s contributions to gaming are some of my favorites and very inspiring, however times do change.
Screw your tweets of multiconsole fandom Tim Schafer. You are a full on blowhard gaslighting poser when you choose to pretend your consumer base would just jump ship with you (in the name of profit) and support one side (warped thinking promoted by new MS management).
Now we’ll get your non-mainstream games turned into mainstream drivel that will go stale as your team tires of bs and dwindles. Brilliant.
I give Doublefine 5 years before they go full Rare or Free Radical.
Kickstarter scammer. Lol
