"April Fools Day was my last day at Double Fine. I have learned so much over the past four years+ about who I am as a leader and what it means to be a creative visionary," she said in a recent tweet.

It's also unclear if that figure includes those who enjoyed Psychonauts 2 through Xbox Game Pass. Double Fine's founder Tim Schafer recently revealed that he's not particularly interested in a movie adaptation of any of his games. "We often get approached by people saying, 'Hey, can we turn this into a movie?' but, you know, it's usually just a distraction," he said. "I think games are what I really care about and what I like to make and what I think are interesting. It comes up every once and a while, but it's never turned into anything. I've had a lot of free lunches out of Hollywood." Edwin Evans-Thirlwell called Psychonauts 2 "witty, eccentric and imaginative" in his review, noting it had a "more developed understanding of mental health" than its predecessor.
