Got a couple of dollars? Want to make Tim Schafer happy? Buy his excellent Psychonauts game on Steam for $2.

After playing it for free on GameTap (when Psychonauts was available for free for, like, two months) I bought it used a couple of years ago from a gaming store for $10. I wanted to have the physical copy. But even so, I'm tempted to just buy it at $2 for the convenience and to support Double Fine a little bit more. No disc swapping! No lengthy install! Just click, download, and play :)

I decided I'd wait until I want to play it, and then pay full price instead... but I honestly don't know when that'll be. :X

Uhh... Just so you know, his royalties for that game are nada. He's said the best thing to do is to pirate the game and actually buy a t-shirt from him and such.

...and with a pricepoint of $2, I can't imagine he would be making very much on that, even if he was getting a good royalty on that.
