Well, as it is with digital purchases though there wasn't an actual product that exchanged hands. So in theory the stores could step up and either offer refunds to the customers or channel their earnings back to Telltale. Of course that money would never reach the developers.

Surprised nobody opened up their wallet and bought them out. Some devs get gobbled up. Some die for good. I thought TT Games would be one with enough history to get acquired at the last minute.

Almost all their games were based off licenced IP's, and those licenses are almost ALWAYS written to not be transferable if a company is sold. So what would you be really buying? A dev staff? Not worth it.

I hope the genuine talent behind their classic adventure gaming offerings (by which I mean point & click, not their endless forgettable movie-like games) ends up united somewhere else. Their revival of Sam & Max was so good, particularly the third season.

Good riddens.

I was looking forward to The Wolf Among Us 2, but that last episode of The Walking Dead was atrocious.

The very same series they created in the first place?

People lost their jobs, and you're apparently happy about it. It's not a good look.

 

[Enjay]

I would usually say if they were good workers they'd find work elsewhere but I don't think that would apply this time. Hoping good things for all ex developers from telltale in their new careers.

You seem very angry. Did your mother not love you?

Never cool to see people lose their jobs. I wish them the best.

IbizaPocholo Cool article, thanks for posting it.

I think almost every TTG fan would agree that they spun out in their later years. Still, I was always rooting for them to regain their footing and start producing quality work again. The real shame is they actually did with their last two games. Batman: The Enemy Within and Walking Dead: The Final Season were a massive step in the right direction. Sadly, it was too little to late.

 

[HarryKS]

That's too bad because Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us were exceptional products.

 

[PSlayer]

Never liked their games simply because the only gameplay was about making choices that never matter to the plot. Still, huge amounts of people losing their jobs is never good.
