park_84: Any news on what will happen with their games?
Well actually I can still download the mobile games through Google Play look up telltale games in Google Play and they all come up well most are the first episodes anyway, I'd have to get a blue tooth controller to play them though as screens are too damn slippery and have no tactile feedback which feels weird.

fr33kSh0w2012: Not even close, There were 0% ways of turning them off in shteam.

They were just there!
You could do multiple things actually.
1. Turn off Steam notifications.
For those worried about "muh immersion" this should be the obvious solution. The thing more disruptive than some little notification after beating a stage is seeing the same persons name pop up three times in an hour letting you know they're on Counter-Strike.
2. Use the program SAM to unlock all achievements. If everything is unlocked, you get no notification. Then you can delete them all afterwards or not care about them.
3. Play your game in offline mode.
Not a solution for all games bu it is for some.

They're all pretty much still available everywhere, not sure why you think the Google store is some worthwhile metric of a games status. The only games you can't find is Wollace & Gmit because that license expired forever ago and Poker Night 2 presumably because they don't want to deal with a lawsuit if the licenses from that game expire and whoever they leave to handle their IPs digitally forgets to to tell distributors to remove it.

CSI?
Law&Order?

PixelBoy: CSI?
Law&Order?
I didn't forget those, they're published by Ubisoft so the dev is irrelevant in that situation. I assume they hired TTG to make the games but Ubisoft had the right to the license and the games.
I'm sorry for all the people who are losing their jobs. :(

I really enjoyed Sam and Max, Wallace and Gromit, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, and the Monkey Island reboot(even though I hated Morgan LeFlay).

I wasn't really a fan of the other games they did as I never really felt like any of my choices mattered or made a difference.

That being said though, I wish them all the best. Best of luck to thee, Telltale peeps. <3

Law&Order is both developed and published by Telltale, according to Internet sources.

Also, CSI games seem to actually be available on Amazon as digital downloads, with a description "DRM: None". They are not available elsewhere though, not even Steam.

Since CSI is from Ubisoft, they probably remain on sale no matter what happens with Telltale itself.

Does anyone know how Amazon game thing works? What does their definition of DRM-free mean?
that's been known for a really long time actually. regardless of the moderator posting it recently. it's the more modern games that are the issue. MarkH01 has posted a theoretical solution at telltale and here but i've yet to find the time to download the season pass since telltale servers are not up to scratch and will take hours per game for me.
Twitter: Basically, only the first season of The Walking Dead made money. Everything between that and Minecraft was a financial failure - Wolf, everything post-Season 1 of TWD, Borderlands, Game of Thrones. All failures.

Wow. I guess I wasn't the only one disenchanted with the direction they took. Of course I started boycotting them after that for unrelated reasons, but the fact I wasn't interested in their games made it easy.
Telltale Games is totally dead: https://twitter.com/anameformyself/status/1047930803634630657

Heeeeyyyy remember how there was going to be a skeleton crew staying on for a while and I was part of it? Nah, jk, we all just got laid off, too.
I've only ever bought 2 telltale games (Poker Night and 2) and I hope they have to pay out severance and refunds to everyone, employee and customer they screwed over.
They were essentially dead to me after the massive disappointment that was Back to the Future, and then they switched entirely to franchises I had zero interest in (except Batman, but by then they had a reputation for being awful, so I passed). I'm still grateful to them for bringing back Sam and Max and Monkey Island, reviving the adventure game genre in a time when it seemed long dead... but then they themselves turned right around and murdered it again. Still, I'm sure there were a lot of good people working there. I hope they can move on to something better now.
Skybound Games (headed by the creator of the comics themselves, Robert Kirkman) have assumed control of the Final Season and are planning on finishing it with the help of former Telltale developers:
