>Double Fine Productions has delayed Psychonauts 2 past its previously announced 2018 release window to an unannounced window.
>“We know a lot more about not only the size and scope of the game we’re going to make, but how long it’s going to take us to make that, and that’s all really good news,” project lead Zak McClendon said in the latest Psychonauts 2 development update. “The less good news is because of that, we now know that it is not going to be done in 2018.”
>McClendon continued, “We are making great progress, and we do know about how long it’s going to take, but we don’t really want to say anything until we can give a firm date for people. We don’t want it to be a thing where it’s like, ‘We think it’s here, but then it might be here or there.’ We want to know exactly where we’re going to land.”
>Outside of the release window update, the development update also showcases the creation of the Aquato family—protagonist Raz’s family. While the Aquatos appeared in memory vaults in the original Psychonauts, the entire family is being named and modeled for Psychonauts 2.

Holy shit, if I was an investor I would hit the panic button immediately. This sounds exactly like they had no idea what the flying fuck they were doing to this point, Schafer probably insisted that they go along with some idiotic design and once they finally got to a playable build everyone realized it was shit. Not that I would invest in Schafer, the butterball fuck has had millions of dollars shoveled into his gullet and the only half-decent complete thing he has to show for it is still Brutal Legend, which is still a chaotic mishmash of game design ideas but is saved by actual metalheads being in the game and being allowed to express their personality.

Anyone who "invested" with MrShitface's platform Fig is fucked. What he is doing with the platform is basically legal money laundering and even if everything goes belly up and a lawsuit happens, all the money is already gone.
Fig is set up to collapse at any time MrShitface wants, fucking every investor over and getting out of any obligation of creating any games funded by the platform.

There's a reason why Notch noped the fuck out when Schafer said Psychonauts 2 would take something like $18 million to make. Schafer is an idiot who has no idea how to manage money.

There's about a 0% chance the game will be better, more fun and more coherent than the original Psychonauts. Maybe it will be bigger, but I wouldn't even bet on that.

If recent games are any indication, it will be open world garbage with no level design since noone knows how to level design anymore. Yooka-Laylee being the perfect example.
It will have 3 levels and the devs will make excuses about how hard it is to make levels now because graphics. They won't even be interesting levels and will follow the Skyrim dungeon philosophy.

That's exactly how I picture it.
A small handful of worlds, big but empty, the stuff you do in each of them isn't very fun or interesting, collectibles are spread out in the shittiest way possible. Basically Yooka-Laylee but Psychonauts themed.
And now that Mario Odyssey did the big worlds thing but actually did it right I expect some people will try to copy it and fuck up in the process with the superficial mentality "people liked odyssey, that must mean they like big worlds".

What if you were a disgusting rich fat fuck who can't deliver on his outrageous promises, but needed to pretend to be an auteur to secure your source of income? Eventually people are going to catch on that you're full of shit. Creating a fake investment platform takes the heat off of you for a while, at least until some nosey entitled gamer makes an expose. It's the exact same principle as normal money laundering.

Right well first off this isn't technically the legal definition of money laundering unless those donations to his early access scams are his patsies. Second if he is using the money for anything else then he is committing fraud pure and simple.

I guess "legal money laundering" isn't technically correct if you're being autistic.
Should watch the video, MrShitface structured Fig to be the company that holds all the financial responsibility while funneling all the money to other companies.
Lets say the Psychonauts 2 comes out, the game has to make 15 million dollars in profit before anyone would even see a ROI and the way this shit is structured, there is no guarantee of ever reviving an ROI even if they make 15 million.
Plus once the money is funneled out of Fig Publishing, they can literally do whatever they want with that money.
All the terms of investment are stacked against anyone buying in, at anytime MrShitface can just let Fig Publishing go bankrupt and he would legally be off the hook for everything while being able to keep all the shekels.
So yeah, I would figuratively call it "legal money laundering."

Money laundering is when you transform profits obtained from criminal enterprise into seemingly legitimate assets. Anon claims what Shitface is doing is 'legal' money laundering. There is no such thing
Embezzlement is a type of theft where you steal money from your company
Hollywood accounting is a type of creative accounting where you inflate or exaggerate expenditures to make it appear on paper as if a commercial enterprise made less money than it actually did, or no money at all, in order to avoid paying creditors or anybody else with whom you have a profit sharing agreement. This is what Shitface is doing. He is, presumably, trying to avoid paying investors in the event of profit by claiming that there is no net profit because he had to pay off all these other shell companies.

The video is a slideshow set to a dramatic reading of the letters sent to many local and federal politicians and financial bigwigs by a man named Francis E. Dec Esq., who had paranoid schizophrenia. As you can tell, it was perhaps at least an order of magnitude worse than Terry A. Davis' case, at least where communication is concerned.
