I only knew about the Law and Order games because corn in the bible posted screenshots of them here (or in the Steam thread?)

I didn't know there were also CSI games
the CSI games were actually pretty okay

I will say that I'm always suprised to learn about the size of game studios sometimes. Like I know a lot goes into a game but Riot is just League of Legends basically and they have 2500 employees?

I liked to call them "Riot Game" but then they put out a boardgame. I know LoL is one of the most popular/profitable games in the world and has been for awhile but I do wonder if they got that big because they needed to or because they had the money to.

Rumor is they're working on a LoL fighting game, I thought.

I get the sense that Riot is falling apart, LoL isn't nearly as big as it used to be and they're having a huge hr problem cause of a creepy office culture.

See, that's crazy to me. I don't know how far back they're talking about when they say these games didn't turn a profit (I assume TWD S1 must have, right?). But even if they're not going that far back, that means there must have been 5-10 game SERIES, meaning probably close to 50 episodes, that weren't profitable.

And it no point did they try to compensate or change their formula. They must have known they needed to shake things up for years, and nobody was willing to make the difficult call to try and right the ship.

I guess Telltale was the walking dead all along.

if there's a party i'll bring plates and napkins

I just saw that (not completely confirmed yet) the laid off Telltale employees won't get severance pay. Really sucks all around.

I hope that, at least, the few people left get to just go wild with TWD season and do whatever they want because who cares at this point.

Without comparing it in Audacity the intro to that song uses a very similar wav pattern to Mining Melancholy.

The only Telltale game I've played is the Walking Dead S1 which I hated with a firery passion. Sucks that jobs were lost though and plenty of people I knew liked those sort of games either way.

I always hesitate before I change my avatar because I have the same problem. It takes me forever to reconnect who someone is with a new avatar. Apparently I think of posters by avatar instead of name I guess
