      Psychonauts 2 happened because Microsoft bought Double Fine and said, “How much time/money do you need to finish your game?” And basically gave it to them.

        Hell yeah, I’m happy they did! That game was an absolute delight to play, just like the first one. The people at Double Fine really knock it out of the park!

        What? No. Double fine kickstarted the game. That’s why psychonauts 2 happened. Revisionist crap needs to die.
