It is a puzzle game so that will impact play time... I believe the game clocked me at just over 6 hours when I first beat it and then I restarted a second run to find collectibles I missed and reached the ending in around 2 hours.

Worth noting - I have it on the X and got some nasty hitches (for what this game is) occasionally. I’m not sure if that indicates it is worse on other platforms or simply not optimized on that one.

One issue I had with this games portrayal of the main character - during my first playthrough I noticed the stereotypical unrealistic animations when J.J. would run sometimes... I didn’t give it much thought but upon completing the first play through you can replay it with a new Post Clear J.J. that is using the…

It is possible it has built some traction in recent months but this actually has been a requirement to be tested for on newly released games for the past year now.

I’m not sure in this case... They could just end up pulling the games off the digital storefronts but it’s also possible someone else comes in and purchases the library of games.

That’s still very much waiting on a miracle if the company literally is unable to operate when a single financier pulls out support. And, honestly, the CEO is one of the least likely to admit how actively they fucked this all up.

There is still money. Those 25 remaining employees are being paid. They may have pulled down TWD: TFS now but other titles and profits TFS made up until it was pulled down are still being paid to the company.

Telltale will likely argue that they are covered by one of the exceptions (presumably faltering company or unforseeable business circumstances).

I, honestly, don’t believe they tried to save everyone or this situation would be somewhat different. I knew a few years ago that they were really bad at managing their spending from someone I knew that went to work for them (and, at the time, was pushing for me to move to them as well).

Sorry your comment was quite word-y for a single sentence like that and I mistakenly added an “is” between “enough” and “to” which immediately changes the context of your question quite a lot.

...but in a situation like this where they’re dumping everything overboard it’s not exactly surprising that they opted not to do that for 90% of their staff.

Did you read this article? They never suggest that people who got laid off “should work for free”. This article is calling out that, far too common, complaint some end users have made and is responding to that with comments from the staff that worked on the game.

 The Minecraft/Netflix thing is simply due to Netflix being a partner. As Telltale initially stated they would complete “obligations to the board and partners”. Sounds like they were already paid for the Minecraft/Netflix deal.

I doubt they would have let everyone go right before launching a game if they had any hope of continuing to operate. This reads like the company went down to the wire hoping they could figure out a way to save the studio and burned through all the spare cash. And now they had a choice between going completely…

I don’t really think there is a huge overlay of TWD show and game fans - despite the same license, they’re very different stories. And they don’t technically have to pull the Season Pass unless they directly confirm it’s cancelled which would, again, lead back to some demand of refunds prior to this months deposit…

It certainly shouldn’t have but we live in a time where a lot of people are entitled. They only take into consideration what they want. Not logic or the feelings of a stranger. Not everyone does this but it has quickly became the norm especially in regards to this industry.

It is if you hope to see it change as I do. Because it is NOT one random idiot. It’s multiple random idiots that become an echo chamber and harass people involved because they don’t understand. Addressing those concerns with an explanation only serves to better inform them and potentially make it so we have less…

I feel like so much reporting (on all sorts of topics) ultimately comes down to a few tweets from complete randos, echoing some sentiment or another. Writers have decided that internet comments represent some sort of “social barometer,” and rarely seem skeptical of whether they’re portraying anything approaching…

Disagree. At the very least it gives the idea a platform to a whole host of people who will agree with that opinion regardless if it’s “disproven” in the same article.

Some have speculated that this statement was just meant to try and trick people into not asking for refunds. It is entirely possible but I don’t know...
