Double Fine has always been this bad, the difference being that now all their crap is out there for everyone to see. Schafer and friends have mismanaged stuff since Lucas Arts times, but back then you didn't knew/care what happened since all you knew of games where that the box suddenly appeared on the store.
It's kind of what's to be expected when you let a "idea man/artist" run the show, they will try to do what they want, not what makes bussiness sense, and decades of experience won't teach them.
Double Fine games have never ever been perfect, they are always flawed in multiple ways, but still I personally find it more interesting to go around their games filled with creative stuff even if A LOT of times they are shadowed by bugs, odd design decisions or simply being unfinished than strolling through a polished AAA spectacle designed by marketing research and investors boards.
And it seems I'm not alone, at this point in time everyone knows about Broken Age running out of funds, Spacebase DF-9 being abandoned unfinished and Massive Chalice being kind of underwhelming, but people are still throwing money at them, in the hopes of seeing something other than sequel #15 of X yearly game.
