IT’S TIME FOR… September 14th 2006 ![](//assets.doublefine.com/archive/images/df_mailbag.jpg) `Dear Double Fine-I have already purchased several copies of Psychonauts, but I would like to buy more. The problem is I am tired of walking into a store to buy your excellent game, because, what is this? The 1800s? A STORE? I'm sorry, but my dinosaur has the the bubonic plague, and can not give me a ride to your STORE. Nor can he travel back in time to a year where stores were still viable means of selling products. Also, if I buy something in your store it will most likely be made of solid matter which I will have to carry home on my back. Do I look like a burro to you? And do I look like I want to handle filthy, disgusting money in order to purchase the games I want? (Have you ever put a $20 bill under a microscope? It's like a magic carpet ride for E. coli.) Also, if there is an earthquake, your store might fall on top of me. And even if that doesn't happen, I know that there will be strangers in your store--cruel teenagers, maybe--who will pass judgment on my shopping choices.For this, and many other reasons, I am tired of buying Psychonauts in stores, like a dirty, stupid caveman.Here is what I want: I want to sit in my house, possibly in my pajamas, or in nothing at all. And I want the Excellent Game Psychonauts to come to me, moving no solid matter whatsoever. I want information describing every aspect of Psychonauts to enter my home, purely as a coded wave of changing properties, whereupon I will use a machine to transform that information into the greatest interactive experience that civilized man has ever known. That is what I want and if you tell me I cannot have it then I shall end my life this very moment!!!Sincerely,The Entire, Worldwide Gaming Public`Hey, hey. Settle down there, gaming public. I think we have what you need. It has just been [announced](http://www.majescoentertainment.com/press/sep1406.php) that we are taking the Excellent Game, and making it available on... ![](//assets.doublefine.com/archive/images/shock.jpg)![](//assets.doublefine.com/archive/images/steam.jpg)![](//assets.doublefine.com/archive/images/awe.jpg) That's right. Soon, you will be able to download Psychonauts, in its entirety, for a modest fee, without ever leaving your house! You have a couple of weeks to get ready, so [download Steam](http://www.steampowered.com/) right now if you don't have it. It's *free*. And then go to the store and buy a lot of canned food, because you are going to want to stay home for a while. --- ## Tags [psychonauts](https://www.doublefine.com/search/tag/psychonauts) --- ## Associated games [Psychonauts](https://www.doublefine.com/games/psychonauts "Psychonauts") --- ## Related news [Back on wax: Psychonauts July 24th 2025 ](https://www.doublefine.com/news/back-on-wax-psychonauts) [The Most Excellent Zine July 11th 2025 ](https://www.doublefine.com/news/the-most-excellent-zine) [Inspirational!
