paladin181: About damn time. Finally they'll stop pushing out their virtually identical games with slightly different mechanics. Good riddance.
I understand a dislike towards their products, but you're celebrating people losing their jobs. Come on now :P

paladin181: It might seems harsh, but when people do a bad job, they should be fired. A job isn't a right or an entitlement, You have to earn it. At least you should have to earn it. If I did a shitty job at my current employment, I would be looking for another one because my services would not be retained. I'm not saying everyone at Telltale did a shitty job, but the overall product was shit.

Starmaker: Basically this. Under modern Western capitalism, you're not entitled to a job you like (or any job at all), but welfare is an option. Under Soviet communism, you're entitled to a job (or VT and a job if there's unmet demand). Expecting certain people to get paid what they want for doing what they want is twitter cancer.
To gloat in the face of people losing their job through no fault of their own is gross.

Also, any attempts to turn the thread political will be met with moderation.


Having bare basic human empathy shouldn't be a skill.

Starmaker: I don't gloat. No one is entitled to get paid what they want for doing what they want. Money is an entitlement to a product of someone else's labor, probably hard and most likely forced by necessity. When you order pizza, I bet the cook and the delivery driver would rather be at a cushy white collar office or at home with their families. This is not a case of workers getting screwed out of money they'd earned, or a successful studio raided by hedge fund managers. The sales chart proves no one has wanted to play Telltale games for a long time. If you want to make games, make the games other people would suffer oil burns and spinal dislocations for you to make.
I honestly have no clue how you think this is even slightly relevant to my comments.

We're currently looking into how the current situation affects TellTale Games on GOG. Given it's a weekend, we may have no further updates till the start of next week.

Don't panic just yet. Updates will be posted on the forums as we get them.

Anime-BlackWolf: Nope, very unlikely that will happen. GOG / MS / Sony will pull the last season from their stores as soon as they hear about Telltale getting shut down to avoid problems with angry customers in the future.

I do not expect Episode 2 to be released in a few days UNLESS it would be a better ending to the story than episode 1.

Show is over, but this happens if you buy into an unfinished product.

If nobody is left to work on TWD, than there will never be any additional content/bugfixes for the released episodes.

I hope their catalog will go on sale a last time, I would get "Guardians of the Galaxy" and be done with it.

firstpastthepost: I actually think it getting pulled right away is the least likely thing that will happen. If Telltale says that they’ll finish the game or asks for more time then I doubt any store front will pull it. There have been plenty of broken or abandoned games on the gog storefront now. Why would this be any different?
*points towards the post I made under an hour ago*


Let's not start theory crafting. I understand people are concerned, but it's best to wait for some level of information beyond unconfirmed hearsay we see on social media.

timmy010: if gog put a proper sale on the telltale catalogue, prior to the catalogues removal, and i don't mean the standard sale price for this catalogue, i'd buy every game.
Like the sale we had last month :P?

fronzelneekburm: He said proper sale.

Kind of like the one the HumbleBin had going last year where you paid 15 bucks for the whole bunch (plus - I believe - the Jurassic Park game that never came to gog). "Up to 75% off" just don't cut it in comparison.
They mentioned a sale, I informed them we recently hosted one. Nothing more, nothing less.

As already stated, we'll update users on the TellTale situation when we hear about it. Please don't expect this will mean a sale will happen, be it a fake sale or a 'proper' sale.

phaolo: If the games are going to be removed, however, please think about redoing another one!
As said, we don't know exactly what is going on or how it affects GOG selling their titles. We'll have more details this coming week.

i_hope_you_rot: @Gog staff : https://www.wingamestore.com/showcase/Telltale-Games-Sale/
This literally has no bearing on anything we've already posted. I'm not sure how many times I need to repeat myself for the message to sink in at this point.

SCPM: New message on the store page for The Walking Dead Final Season, which is no longer available to buy:
"Telltale has requested a temporary pause of sales of The Walking Dead - Final Season. For all up to date Telltale news, please refer to their official Twitter page."
This is currently true for GOG as well. We'll update users as soon as we hear anything, all we can do is ask for patience while things become clearer.
