Though, Telltale games are basically just episodic visual novels. Other than writing, I wouldn’t put it much in terms of quality.

@Angrybrony  
eh, not everyone is interested in the genre, or they may hate the material being adapted,

well that great/s.  

@ice1517  

 
They also screwed over basically every single one of their employees by leaving them unemployed

*newsketches will remember them

Shame about Telltale.

There is also the reports from employees about the higher-ups still trying to act like an indie dev studio instead of a much bigger one, higher-ups not making good business decisions, trying to handle too many licenses at once, and also reports about how the environment they had to work in was pretty toxic.

@ice1517  

 
doesn’t surprise me.

But honestly, I’m not really surprised by telltale closing. It’s almost like cornering the market on a genre in an industry where the audiences can shift their priorities is a bad idea

Wasn’t Telltale juggling like 6 different products at one point?

@Dustcan  
Yeah.
 
Juggling with The Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us, Game of Thrones, Batman, Guardians of the Galaxy, Minecraft story mode, Tales from the Borderlands, plus the Stranger Things and Star Wars game they were working on.

@ice1517  
aaaw man we were going to get a star wars telltale game!

Telltale former employees are fucked

@Commune  
Things seem to not be all bad for them though.
 
I heard that a lot of big studios like EA, Blizzard, Ubisoft and Santa Monica, and someother indie studios are willing to hire them.

When you really get down to it, Knull is just a cranky old man who wants a bunch of kids to get off his lawn.

I almost cried watching the latest episode of Attack on Titan.

So Venom is apparently Pg-13 now instead R-Rated like it was originally planned.
 
kinds sucks :/

I can’t wait for DOOM: Eternal to come out!
 
The demo, from what I’ve seen, is awesome!
 
The controversy of how it makes fun of Political Correctness is definitely a deal-sealer. The reason why? It shows the developers are willing to take risks.

@TheMultiBrony21  
in what way is it making fun of the pc crowd?

@Angrybrony  
Look it up on YouTube.
 
Here is what a hologram says at one part.
 
“Remember, “Demon” is a offensive term. Please use terms like “Morally Impaired” to describe our friends.” That’s my version, almost accurate.
 
It’s basically making fun of how pcs will say similar stupid stuff.
 
It’s primarily referencing Illegal Immigration and Pc Cultures reaction to people attempting to put a stop to it.
 
This video does a little better at explaining it than I can.
