Telltale Games Shutting Down

[Poonoo]

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.

Apparently only the first Walking Dead game made a profit. Even the 2 games in 2013 that sold over a million copies lost them money, how do you fuck that up? You are using the same engine, you built all the gameplay mechanics in the first game so all you had to do was have it set up so all you had to do was animate everything and place all the assets. Those two games should have been more profitable than the first due to not needing much programming.

The management at that place must have been beyond fucked. 400 employees, that much manpower with your programming essentially done is way overblown, especially since teams that crap out Assassin's Creed every fucking year aren't that big which requires way more fucking work. They probably didn't build the original game properly so that future ones can be done with basic drag and drop shit. That, not updating the engine and look from fucking 2012 when the PS3 was still cutting edge on consoles and clearly oversaturating the market in such a retarded way killed them. I really, REALLY want to know what happened amongst the people who were meant to organise this shit, they clearly fucked up royally.

You could totally pull off a game like that with 50 or less people. That's including secretaries and such.

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

What where most of them even doing, most of the time?

I don't know, jerking off to each other I guess.


Also woke moment:

"Feminist icon."

Kill these people.

[da PAC Nigguh]

"Feminist icon."

Kill these people.

They killed themselves.

And that final chapter of The Walking Simulator Dead won't be released.

Yeah, everyone is crying about being unable to complete Clem's story. No crying in regards to being unable to further experience the "gameplay" anymore of course.

I really hate that this deep plotz shit is everywhere. The gameplay in Telltale games looks fucking boring as shit.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

If she's such a massive feminist icon, I'm sure Netflix would be more than willing to turn her final lost chapter into a cartoon.

[Guest]

The best feminist icons are fictional characters created by men.

They had 3 different CEOs in a span of 3 years which is never a good sign. They already had licenses for Walking Dead, Fables, Batman, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Minecraft. However back in June, Telltale announced another license with Netflix's Stranger Things. So they replaced their longtime CEO to a guy that couldn't handle the job, to appointing an idiot that signed yet another license when they're bleeding money.
