If Double Fine closes instead of just splitting back off into its own studio, I'm gonna be pissed.

Microslop is one of those companies that acquires properties and destroys their productivity and profitability.

I will never understand why you would sell your studio to someone like microsoft or ea, it is well known they will bastardize it drag its name through the mud and then strip off and sell every asset.

To me the money is not worth the lost legacy, but what do I know I'm not some short sighted selfish ceo.
