Microsoft acquires Double Fine Productions
- Thread starter Arm Van Dam
- Start date
I hope this brings financial security and stability for all the workers at Double Fine. But I worry about Microsoft acquiring all the Double Fine IPs and what it means for future preservation of the titles they've worked on such as Grim Fandango (since Disney is also an owner of that title, and we know how awful and cumbersome legal partnerships between major publishers can be). Oh well, I'm just being worrisome for no reason, probably. Big publisher acquisitions just always makes me nervous.
It's also worrisome since they'll be at the whim of decision-making by investors and boardroom suits far away from the actual workings at Double Fine. And Microsoft doesn't have the best track record before this generation with studio health and survival.

I fucking called it, that Phil shirt was a major tip off
Not a fan but if it means Double Fine can stay afloat then fair enough. They were one of the last true independent studios out there though :(

Why? Even if you won't get an xbox it seems like whatever they publish is xbox / pc.
Now they'll have more budget to play with.
Fucking sucks....I guess I can still play their games on PC, but I've played everything else from them on Playstation
Brutal Legend, Costume Quest, and my favorite non-Nintendo platformer, Psychonauts.
God damn it. :(
