Boss Tim Schafer hates that assumption. Both titles are ”very commercial” and they want huge sales. Schafer jokes they’ll be called ‘sell outs’.
”I think it’s the worst title ever,” said studio boss Tim Schafer. ”I think it’s the worst title ever. I think people want that to be the story – it’s a good story to tell – but Psychonauts, if you really look at it, is a very commercial game, and Brütal Legend is too.”
”There’s definitely not any sort of drive to become exclusive, art-house content. I think we’re making very accessible games, and I think we’ll keep doing that until one of them is a huge hit and then people won’t say that anymore.”
”They’ll say, ‘Double Fine sold out!’ And we’ll say, ‘We were trying to sell out with every game we made since the first one!’” Double Fine’s next title is download only and called Costume Quest, which is about kids in halloween costumes battling monsters.
