Amazing! Democratic video game funding for the people. I'm really impressed.

NYC_Gamer4825d ago

I'm willing to help Indie studios fund new experiences at least they won't be limited by greedy publishers

Who disagreed with you? Come on now, speak up! Is it a Capcommie? A Biobite? Come on now, speak up, speak up!!! Don't hide behind those Actinazis, their billion dollars can't hide you from the truth.

We all know you work in the industry in some capacity otherwise there is no reason to disagree with gamers directly funding projects that gamers want to play. It makes perfect sense...cutting out the publishing middlemen.

Boy, if this stuff catches on, you know publishers will move to put a stop to it.

That's not only a fact, it's a nudge from destiny.

uh oh...looks like the 2nd game flopped sales-wise. what a shame

MadLad694d ago

Psychonauts 2 has been the studios most profitable release, despite being on Gamepass, and a third title is already open and on the table when the time comes.
They wanted to do a big, new IP release coming into the acquisition being they would have funding they wouldn't have otherwise. That was obviously greenlit.

EvertonFC694d ago

He was always gonna make a new ip once MS bought them.
The correct dicision imo, comebk to P3 at a later date.

Much preferred the first game tbh, so not a huge loss.

Would say that if he was talking about Sony ?

S2Killinit812d ago (Edited 812d ago )

Come now, MS PR efforts with these personalities is on a whole different level. At least historically.

I dont know this dude, but they got some really feisty characters talking their points. when its too risky for a higher up to be saying it, they let the grunts do the talking points.

These PR characters are not idiots, they are cogs in a machine that is Microsoft PR.

porkChop812d ago

@S2

Tim Schafer is not some "PR character". He's one of the most well-known and respected pioneers in the industry.

ChasterMies812d ago

Sony has its own blog, podcast, and video series to promote PlayStation. Arguably Sony PR is just better than Microsoft PR.

rlow1812d ago

Great interview and really down to earth guy. I’m interested in watching the documentary they made on the making of Psychonauts 2 .
