(Now former?) Telltale employee: "This is a sore subject, but I feel it necessary to add to the gaming layoff news: Telltale laid most of us off early September. Status of TWAU2, I can't say (NDA)."

I thought Wolf already went public domain because the creator got the high hard one from Warner Brothers.

Another victim of the SVB bankruptcy?

Fuck sake..

Edit: Just shut shit down, sell the IP's to Dramatic Labs (who are made up of former OG Telltale people) and let shit continue on with competence (I say, having enjoyed Star Trek: Resurgence).

It would just be awful irony if layoffs kill Telltale again.

That wouldn't be irony. Layoffs are the death of every failed company.

What? 😥 I was/am so hyped for TWAU2, the first one was awesome. Why is that studio so cursed…

Because it just isn’t selling enough games apparently.

Frankly I bought the Batman series just to support them and I’ll be buying the walking dead series bundle for the same reason. They have to release new stuff though and that’s going to be really really hard to do because they have to make a game that follows up on a major IP that they own from the old company and also make it really well. Not super likely.

That said, the original death of the company before was rough and was mostly about them expanding and not getting more funding. But the business model was also flawed imo. They forgot to significantly upgrade their games and the first big series, TWD, was the best written one. After that, flat.

If you want to know why they struggle, look at supermassive. Those guys eat telltales lunch and dominate the space. Is there room for both? Probably. But they’ve really got to deliver something killer with the new games or they’re dead again.

They should fund their games through Kickstarter. They are apparently not going to achieve commercial success, but I’d happily pledge to help pay for a sequel to TWAU or TFTB
