Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Also hoping Keeper makes it to the 99% of PCs that can't run it well at the moment. The recommended PC specs are 32GB RAM and a 4080 GPU

Good for them.
Hopefully it doesn't backfire.

They noticed Asha isnt afraid to bring in new blood with her AI buddies. Which means any laggards protected under Phil and Sarah are ripe for being gutted. Got to hurry up for some unionized job protection to keep the grift going. Anything to protect their own asses for bad jobs.
I would had got rid of them long time ago. In fact, I wouldnt had even bought them in the first place. Total waste of resources. Kiln and Keeper as their latest arthouse junk. MS could had funneled all the money spent on this studio since they bought them in 2019 to something better.
They rank so low on charts, in order to see them in the big master charts you have to sign in to see the full charts. If you dont they dont even show up because their CCU is so low.
There are less people playing their games today than employed at the studio.
There could be an element of people being pissed off that other "better" studios have already been shut down or had massive layoffs but Double Fine has been unaffected, despite them kinda abandoning PS5 and PC gamers with Keeper with it having a high launch price for a short game and also having steep hardware requirements (and no PS5 version at all)

Gotta love the fucking retards posting Steam CCU numbers for a goddamned Gamepass game.
Except for when it's high for actually popular games, right?
Gamepass may reduce absolute numbers but it doesn't change it's performance relative to other games which are also on GP.

studio's are getting shut down for reason's i can't decipher. Look at bluepoint. It's like sometimes it doesn't matter what you can do....you still get canned.
I mean I like me some psychonauts, but I can't imagine with it being on gamepass, people bought this in droves. But i agree with the previous poster. Need good games that sell well to keep your job

Maybe it's -them- playing their own game.
So the game is a piece of shit? Cool, so you agree it's actually not popular and its low CCU has nothing to do with GP, because I can think of another $20 game that had high CCU but was available on it.LMAO
This isn't Call of Duty.
Spend $1 to try out this piece of shit or $20?

Double Fine are essentially the OG and the Fisher King for the "games as art" movement, Psychonauts was that flashpoint in gaming culture where a title got so much critical acclaim that it just struck people as flat out unfair it didn't also have sales that Double Fine just sorta faked it till they maked it.
It would simply bum a lot of people out of they closed and the reason I call them a Fisher King, would seem like the death of a certain seriousness Microsoft want to project about "games as art" so on and on they coast off that reputation alone.
