I read this article this morning:

It’s an interesting point, but I’d like to see some more data on the topic. I suspect a major cause of the problem is likely to be couples. If you’re moving within the UK, it's often feasible for the already-employed partner to retain their job, either having a medium-distance relationship for a while until they can find a job nearer the new place, or with one partner (or both) commuting. The chances of getting two permanent academic jobs in the same area at the same time are very limited, so if someone follows their partner from abroad, they’re unlikely to get one quickly. This means a choice: either taking a non-academic job (in which case you don't write this article) or taking a much less appealing academic job. I suspect the root problem here is simply that a perceived or real need to remain "in academia" is a substantial additional factor in jobseeking. Coupled with the need to find a job near a partner, and at around the same time, people end up taking jobs they ordinarily wouldn't. I imagine the same problem applies in most specialised fields. To look at it another way, I can immediately think of four factors in the decision. It’s very likely that you’ll have to compromise on at least one: Distance: you want to work near your partner. Career: you need to maintain a name in the field and your career skills. Financial: you need to get a job fairly soon to pay the bills. Quality: you want certain things out of the job, such as prestige, the nature of the work, conditions and so on. Of these, quality is perhaps the easiest to compromise and leads to this article. If you compromise on finance, we get articles on how a single academic salary isn’t enough to support a couple or family. If you compromise on career, we get articles on “publish or perish”, gender imbalance in universities*, and why people left academia. If you compromise on distance, we get articles on the difficulties of juggling career and relationship for academics. *I suspect that because of pay discrepancies and cultural tendencies, there are statistically more male academics moving and taking female partners with them than the other way round. It may also be harder for female academics to get a new job after moving. On the whole, my take is that this is very little to do with staff being international, and very much to do with trying to find two full-time high-prestige specialist jobs within a small geographical area, when said jobs are limited to specific cities, subject to furious competition and have relatively low turnover.

The founder of Double Fine studios said that he receives daily requests for the sequel, but fans often do not understand how game publishing works.

"I mean I get a lot of, on Twitter or whatever, daily questions about
Psychonauts 2. And I would love to do Psychonauts 2, I've actually pitched that to publishers several times and no-one has taken the bait so far," he told Digital Spy.

"I'd love to do that game, but I'd have to convince someone to just give me a few million dollars, that's all."

Schafer: We were talking about what game we could have access to because if we were using one of the games in production, the publisher might not like that, they might not like their coverage of that being so broad. We were worried about secrets and unannounced stuff and all the hassles of getting approval for everything, so we thought: “Let’s just start a new project and we could have Kickstarter fund that, too.”

...it was going to be a cool, cute, little fun game, but it would probably be kind of hobbled as far as adventure games go. It wouldn’t have compared [to] Day of the Tentacle or our old games because it was going to be a fraction of the price.
