The Truly Heartwarming Tale Of How Microsoft Bought Double Fine

Slow to market....just the way Microsoft likes it.

This is great news! It's a really good fit for the Xbox Games Studios. Looking forward to more.

rip double fine

Tim Schafer still apologized, with anita sarkeesian, for having a male anatomy.

To this day I do not play his games.

Microsoft - "I will show you the money and then shut you down afterwards. Are track record of doing this is indisputable"

Will they actually finish Spacebase DF-9 now?

*shakes fist*

Will we see another Costume Quest game ? I really i hope we will

So, I'm relieved Psychonauts 2 is still releasing on PS4, of course. It's just gonna be strange if Double Fine has to include the Xbox Game Studios logo on the start-up credits for the PS4 version, and on the back of the case in the copyrights section. I'm not against the idea, but it's odd that this might be the closest to "cross-platform play" we'll see on PS4 outside of Fortnite, haha.

*shrug* NA devs seem to do better with MS than Japanese ones do. Some swear by them. Others go bad. I suppose a studio with a more niche market would probably be left alone by MS.

Of course, MS wouldn't do something like this unless they wanted to make some kind of splash. Bankrolling Brutal Legend 2 would do it.

I'm curious how the purchase is going to affect the games that DF was publishing, not developing. Specifically, I'm wondering what's going to happen to "Samurai Gunn 2," which, I think, is set for next year.

I know those two have been in production so theyre coming to multiple platforms, but I worry about the future and exclusivity.
