They can just talk about random bullshit for most of it like they do in 90% of LPs on the channel

You know that 90% of it would be Pat moaning about how terrible it is, but mostly for things he's mistaken about.

I just want a half-hour or 45 minute one-shot where they can explain and show off exactly why they're not doing a full LP of it.

Ohh, I'd actually really like something like that. Just a single video giving up a quick rundown of everything wrong with the game before moving on to DMC3.

I feel like they're priced into DMC2, but sadly it isn't bad enough to be funny itself, so the LP will just be off topic poo poo and the same 5 complaints repeated.

So, in other words, a Best Friends LP.

Batman did terrible numbers and their deal to put their games on Netflix fell through. This was after they massively expanded to a little under 300 employees, and rapid expansion has to be the #1 killer of any company since it amplifies every failure. The advantage of being able to make more games at once means nothing if those games don't sell.

Yup. They were gonna put Minecraft on there, and I think the Stranger Things game was part of that, too. Can't find an article about it falling through, but here's one about it happening:

They're keeping a skeleton crew to finish off the season, so at least we'll get a conclusion there. Wolf Among Us 2 and the Stranger Things game are gone, though.

They also took on a whole bunch of licensed products simultaneously, none of which we've heard any solid information about. The writing's been on the wall for a while now, but to hear it so definitively, and from so many employee sources inside telltale is super jarring to be sure.

Super late edit but what the gently caress

"We previously reported that a skeleton crew will remain behind to complete work on The Walking Dead Final Season. That information was inaccurate. Sources who wish to remain anonymous explained that there is a skeleton crew at Telltale, but they will be working on the Minecraft Story Mode project for Netflix. In fact, The Walking Dead team was also laid off today and The Walking Dead Final Season will not be completed."

This article from March is well worth a read now. It really shows what happened with the company and why it kept pumping the same games.

...and is also kinda darkly hilarious in how hopeful it ends about the employees finally having the freedom to turn things around...
