Comments: Psychonauts Dev Double Fine Is Independent Again - And Now Owns Every Game It Made Under Xbox, Publishing Rights Included

seeing double fine walk away with all its ip and publishing rights intact is genuinely heartening. xbox letting a studio go with the full catalog is not the usual corpo playbook. schafer asking fans for support directly feels right - now the quality has to do the talking.

double fine is free and it kept the rights to everything. that's the dream scenario for any studio that got acquired. now let's see if tim schafer can still ship on schedule without a parent company's money behind him.

such a relief to hear double fine kept psychonauts and the whole catalog when going independent. studios usually lose everything in these splits. i hope this means we finally get another psychonauts or a return to brutal legend.
