* BrokenBase: Ever since Broken Age, Double Fine has become something of a joke to many gamers as time and time again DF has proven that they have a hard time handling money.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The aforementioned project they started with Kickstarter. They only asked for $400,000(pocket change by game budget standards), but managed to get up to a ''million'' within the day the project was posted. By the Kickstarter's deadline a month later, the project had reached $3,336,371.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: A common problem with their games. All of them are very unique and imaginative, but often too weird for the average gamer. Most of their big titles did not sell very well at all, and ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'' nearly put them out of business, though there is more to that story than just bad sales.
