Yep. Pouring time and effort into a franchise which sold so amazingly the first time through is definitely a good business decision on the part of doublefine...
Im not saying it wont happen, but like they said, its not on their roadmap at the time. because they have other stuff in the works.

I'm guessing no publisher is really interested in funding Psychonauts 2 anyway. In fact, Brutal Legend will probably have to sell pretty goddamn well for Double Fine to survive.
Don't get me wrong, I love Psychonauts. Most of us do. But I'm always a little disappointed when I see how many people demand a sequel from Schafer. I mean, we are looking at a hilarious, imaginative dude with an absolutely delicious track record.
Every time this guy starts a new project, it is awesome. Why screw ourselves out of future franchises by insisting he succumb to the sequel-mania of the tired industry he is standing apart from so well? He's said that he doesn't like the idea of making sequels, and I agree fully, for this reason: If he had made Full Throttle 2, there wouldn't have been a Grim Fandango. If he had made Grim Fandango 2 there wouldn't have been a Psychonauts. If he had made Psychonauts 2 there would be no Brutal Legend.
The guy clearly has no shortage of ideas. Let him do his thing by his own momentum.

That said, if I had to sacrifice Grim Fandango and Psychonauts to have Full Throttle 2 in my life, I probably would.

I loved Psychonauts. Every goddamn second of it.
The game had an ending that was practically the opening scene of a sequel. I don't see why it's so unlikely to everyone that the game would get one.
Let's all pool our money, and pay them to make the sequel.
