GIVE DOUBLE FINE YOUR MONEY (if you have a soul)

(They could've easily asked one of the German publishers who fund most of the European point&click games, which sell next to nothing, but I guess it's hipper in this social network era we live in to ask your fans for their money twice.

"How appropriate. I'm milked like a cow." )

BTW: Wrong link in OP (unless it was on purpose).

Schafer actually makes a joke about that in the beginning of the video posted on the page. All publishers are either the kind who laugh at adventure games, or German. Something to that effect.

And it's not really asking for your money twice! Donating fifteen bucks or more gets you a copy of the game when it's released. That's pretty all right.

Actually I know and with "milked" I was just joking as I wanted to put in a Monkey Island insult fight reference. I just donated way more than 15€. After all I can't let go the chance of being mentioned in the credits of a Gilbert & Schafer game . I'm just a bit upset (for quite some time now) that the few remaining US companies who are still interested in developing point&click games don't team up with the European developers/publishers more effectively. If Double Fine, Telltale, Viva Media, KingArt, Daedalic, Animation Arts, Pendulo and the likes would join all their point&click expertise, my most favorite genre would probably attract some more gamers than the extremely dedicated, but small fanbase.
