Literally the video game equivalent of the movie equivalent of Tim Schafer. 'Nough said.
He's a glreb
Used to like him but then I took a 3.3 million dollar to the kneeCheck my 3

I used to think he was cool but it's becoming more and more obvious through his numerous recent failures that he was an ideas guy that stole the credit from the actual people that made "his" games great. He can go to hell and die with the rest of the kikestarter beggers :)

Okay, so I'm going to be totally serious about my position on this "should I trust Tim Schafer?" issue. I know nobody asked for it, but I feel like I kind of have to say it.
I backed Double Fine Adventure and ultimately didn't enjoy it (it's not a bad game exactly, it just didn't fit the remit of a classic adventure game), I didn't back Massive Chalice, and I think the Space Base issues were handled very badly.
I'm still going to give money to Psychonauts 2. I've never played the first one, and I probably never will.
This year I had a beloved series of mine come back on Kickstarter to triple record-breaking success, and I saw a lot of people who had never played the series pledge because they wanted to see the fans of Shenmue get what they want.
That's why I'm throwing in for Psychonauts 2 despite no connection for the series, or much love for Double Fine. I know there are lofty expectations, but in good faith at least based on the desire to do right by fans, I think if the game is funded it will turn out fine. Effectively, I want to thank any Psychonauts fans who helped make Shenmue III happen, by making Psychonauts 2 a thing.
I'm going to pledge not for Tim Schafer, but for the fans. I think they are the ones who will ultimately lose out if this doesn't happen. Tim and Double Fine will move on to another project, and that'll be that. The fans will get left in the dust thinking about what could have been, and that sucks.
So that's why I'm throwing in for Psychonauts 2.

He's a con man, but he openly admits to his scams.

I used to admire him quite a bit (hearing his name would hype me up) but the success has clearly gone to his head. So much so that any criticism is deflected as either you being a jilted goober gamer or someone beneath him.
It doesn't help that the quality of his games have dropped along with his personality.

He's basically mascot tier to help sell his own game projects.
