Schaeffer had this to say:
“Sesame Street had a profound effect on me, and many members of the Double Fine team, when we were children. So did video games.”   “Now many of us are parents and we want to share with our kids the great experiences we had, but also the completely new ones made possible by cutting-edge technology like Kinect for Xbox 360. So it’s a labor of love on many levels.”
