And even if we're making the argument that it "would've been the right thing to do" for Telltale, was it "the right thing to do" for Boomerjinks to rile the internet against Telltale instead of just working it out with them?
If what Boomerjinks says about the final communication he received from Telltale is true, then...yeah. It was.
If they sent him a letter in September saying they didn't feel responsible at all for the damages and that was that, they were in breach of the contract they entered into with Boomerjinks when they signed the bill of lading. So, if they breached the contract by refusing to pay, he could either sue, at great personal inconvenience, or go to reddit.
The fact is that Telltale had plenty of time -
all day - to immediately put an end to this, but instead waited until it was just leaking into the media to react suggests to me that they had no intention of paying Boomerjinks. Ever.
I'm glad they finally handled it, but let's not try to twist the facts to make it look like Telltale are the victims in all this.
