It was confirmed about an hour ago: everyone at Telltale games has been laid off, save for about a dozen people who are finishing up the last Walking Dead game. Wolf Among Us 2 and Stranger Things, which were both mostly finished, will never be. It wasn’t entirely unexpected (they had to lay off about 1/3 of their staff about a year ago, and they still couldn’t recover financially) they’ve been hemorrhaging money for years because they invested so much money and effort making games for entertainment properties that took a huge cut of their already-dwindling sales- IIRC WB Games and Disney took over half of the proceeds from Batman and Guardians of the Galaxy, respectively. I haven’t really played any of their games for several years, but I enjoyed their Homestar Runner and Back to the Future games, and played a lot of their poker stuff.

NienNunb posted:Poker Night at the Inventory 1 and 2 were fun, sometimes I'll rewatch compilation videos of the characters saying stuff. Poker Night 2 got removed from sale on digital stores a few days ago and it mostly flew under the radar, so I guess we can expect more of their stuff to vanish soon :/

Looking back I'm actually shocked they survived as long as they did.

Chuck Buried Treasure posted:Season 2 has some really good moments (Clementine meeting the villain for the first time particularly stands out in my mind) but overall was really uneven. I also didn’t like that they tried to portray Kenny as this dangerous raging lunatic when he was completely right about everything, which sapped a lot of the drama. I still liked it overall but I get the mixed reaction. For some reason Telltale was really, really (REALLY) loving salty that the vast majority of players sided with Kenny instead of Lilly, who they expected people to like somehow, which is why he became a deranged psycho out of seemingly nowhere in S2 (unless you picked Lilly’s path, and then it makes more sense). They’ve said numerous times that siding with Kenny in S1 is strictly not canon, and that’s the only choice they’ve ever really put their foot down like that. It’s really weird. I wonder if they just hated his voice actor or something

In Training posted:it turns out shutting off the lights overnight and not paying out severances while an executive board is still cashing checks from game sales is a violation of labor laws and Telltale is being brought to court in California Daikatana Ritsu posted:They're also posting about shopping the walking dead ip around instead of paying severances, lol Jej.
