Shit series Walking Dead won't even be finished. Just a couple years ago journo faggots were calling that shit "Game of the Year."
No skill required and you can just click through it in a couple of hours. It's a journo's dream game. Fuck 'em.

Who honestly needs Western VNs? The Nippon originals at least have pretty 2D (waifu) art. Most of the 3D shit I've seen from Telltales looks ugly, rushed and borderline unfinished. Because it probably is.
Nobody needs them. The market has spoken. VNs aren't vidya anyway and if you pander to people that don't buy vidya in the first place:

That chart says it all. 2012 was their best year and nothing came close. The last 3 years have been especially bad where they should have slowed down, not try to release 3 games a year.

Another thing about making walking sims is that you an just watch a fucking longplay of the damn thing and it's 1:1 to actually "playing" the thing.

B-b-but muh choices that don't actually matter!

You'd think that long, steady decline would've caused them to try to fix their games' concept instead of shitting out more and more of them.

Also, a chunk of sales had to have come from humble bundles, so not all of those owners paid full price.

And if you do decide to buy the game it's often not much longer than a movie so you can refund it.

It's almost like episodic "adventure" games are just shitty tv shows for people who don't like or play video games.

I heard the company had around 400 employees, that's a lot.

Probably had 3 blue hair Commissars supervising each person doing actual work.
