It feels a little mean to post this, kicking a studio while it's down, but it's not like it's untrue. So here we go, with your ol' pal Jim Sterling's thoughts on the company Telltale Games became before it announced its bankruptcy. 


Telltale tried to do too much while not doing enough. Let's take a look at it!

But they at least knew how to make a good poker game. Very sad for the employees who from one day to the next got the axe without severance pay.

I enjoyed most of Telltale's games and I never got tired of their formula, I feel like the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applied to them very well. Here's hoping the final season of TWD somehow gets finished.

Dang. All those people. And Telltale really did seem like one of those studios that would never die. It's a shame. :(

Slight correction, one of the VAs of TWD said she wasn't sure about the fate of the final season, and there's no official confirmation that it's cancelled yet beyond an anonymous source, so i'm taking that one with a grain of salt for now.

Gahh and straight after they get me hyped for Wolf Among Us S2..sad panda.

I just realized I got an e-mail announcing a *new* TellTale game on September 20th. J f'n C, the left hand really didn't know what the right was doing. I had half a mind to make a parody of TellTale's games at one point; one of the jokes was that whenever the "narration text" said "so and so will remember that", the person named would die immediately (as was becoming increasingly common in some of their games). Leading to the self-aware narration text getting the player out of a situation where they're outnumbered by having the enemies "remember that" one by one. There was some suggestion TTG was starting to move in new directions when they trap door fell away. In any case, whoever decided it was okay to drop 250-some people with less than an hour's notice and no severance in the Bay Area is a special kind of evil. I'll miss the good times, and wonder if they could have made it back.
