Some of their games had really good stories and characters, and some were awful. I just played the Batman ones earlier this year because of good word of mouth and that was my plan for the future. So I'm not glad they're dead.

responding to 225 people losing their jobs with "Well I thought all of their games were garbage" right within the vicinity of someone who knows people who lost their jobs as a result of this is kinda lovely ngl

I liked several of Telltale's games- bummer to see them going out like this.

That makes more sense then. I thought it was just some dude going all "how dare they besmirch Telltale I can't listen to this!!!" lol. I don't know who's reading this thread! Also pretty sure people are responding to "a studio I liked/disliked/didn't care about is closing", not "people lost jobs". That's the lamest way to try and generate sympathy and you could apply it almost anything. Jobs are lost when a military occupation ends. Jobs are lost when a Payday Loans operation closes.

Tales from the Borderlands was fantastic and I hope everyone who worked on that get to join another place and make more funny games. Shame about everything else, but TellTale has clearly been stumbling for a long while, this was somewhat expected.

yeah, the way they basically churned through license acquisitions after a point always seemed questionable to me

But absolutely nobody who says "good i'm glad they're gone lol" are talking about ordinary folks losing jobs. They're expressing their opinion of the studio's work and you know it.
