As someone who works under the Xbox umbrella too, I just don't understand how y'all should be under threat considering you shipped 2 games in a year, but I also know MS don't give a shit about games, they only care about money.
Good luck--praying for the best for you guys. You've been one of my favorite game studios for a long time now and I really hope you can make it through this.
Iβm telling you all right now if they dissolve you, you donβt move, rebrand all your crap triple fine, start making indies and we will back you the fuck up.
Microsoft doesnβt deserve you.
I'll be so mad if this studio is closed down.
I'm hoping y'all can go independent if it happens.
Maybe release another game via kickstarter!
I'd be the first in line!!
ππ I will forever adore you guys at Double Fine for bringing Grim Fandango back to modern Systems ππ. I always thought you guys could make Grim fandango 2
As i heard you would work with MS AGAIN, I thought it was a bad idea and from the experience you already had, you should have known better. I really hope you all can keep your jobs and the company stays alive. I love your games and it would be a terrible loss. Good luck to you all.
How fucked up is it that if a corporation doesnβt want their studio anymore, they get to just shut it down? If you donβt want the financial burden, Microsoft, then just let them go! Hang in there, DF!
You guys can all come stay with me. I can't pay you, but you won't have to pay rent, so it works out.
(But for real, I hope you're all ok. Scary times we live in under certain corporate entities going through transitions)
Microsoft is going to screw ANYONE they can to compensate for their 235B$ of loss in AI bullshit .
(this isn't a random value by the way they invested $266B
and have a current total return of $31B if we're extremly generous on the criterias for said return on investment)
The only game studio I ever seriously wanted to work at. I'll never forget when you announced your opening and it's been aspirational ever since. Feels like a genuine link to a bygone era <3
