he should only have a fraction of the sway and respect of the people who's work he took credit for, instead he has multiple times more. now that he doesn't have guys like wynnick and gilbert propping him up, he hasn't made anything worth looking at, yet people still give him millions of dollars to shove his thumb up his ass

and then he takes that platform he doesn't deserve, and uses it to bitch about a movement to keep SJW scum from tainting our vidya. seriously fuck the guy multiple times for multiple reasons.

>>334966408
Agreed. Once people became the publisher, they were privy to his disregard for working within the time and budget constraints that were given to him. The exact thing that previous publishers had complained about for many years.

I don't hate the guy but after broken age, I wasn't going to give him any money for psychonauts 2 until it showed up in the steam store outside of early access.

He writes and designs. He's responsible for all the things that made Psychonauts fun, because strip the characters, setting and dialogue out and it's a boring as shit platformer.

The man's got talent, and anyone who denies that is a moron. But he's a classic Peter Principle example; he's a great writer and designer, maybe even a good project leader, but he shouldn't be in overall charge of everything because he sucks at the rest. He can't time manage a team properly, he sure as hell can't manage money, and he's actually kind of a cunt when promoting the game or talking to people who don't fawn over him.

He was a name associated with great games (Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle etc...) who then made some quirky cult-classic-y games (Psychonauts, Brutal Legend) but then after that he started being promoted personally, like TIM SCHAFER became a celebrity rather than DOUBLE FINE the studio. And then his latest games were boring, crowdfunding exposed his problems with managing stuff, and he kinda went the same way as Peter Molyneux.

It's not an outright homage to metal and rock though, it's more like Metalocalypse: glorying in it and also mocking it at the same time.

Rock and Metal music/bands have been both great and ridiculous, often at the same time, since they first appeared, and I felt the tone of the game captured that pretty well.

Subjective. I'm not saying people have to love the game. I didn't think it was amazing either. But it bothers me when people try to use it as an excuse to demonize Schafer.

People chose to participate in the Kickstarter knowing what the conditions of it were. They got a game out of it. The end.
