Schafer Loves Double Fine's New Direction
Starting with Costume Quest, Brutal Legend developer Double Fine has adopted a new strategy committed to more releases of smaller titles. In a recent interview, creative director Tim Schafer says he is pleased with where the company is headed.
"I already love it," Schafer told Gamasutra. "I like already the stability it brings us of having four revenue streams from different companies, instead of one. Just from a business sense, it's more calming to know that if one hose shuts off, there's another."
With maintained stability, we could see many more downloadable titles coming from Double Fine very soon, though Schafer has been fairly hush about upcoming projects. We look forward to seeing what the team has up their sleeve.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
