The end of Tell Tale Games is nearing. So sad. I wish they would have just stayed making 'Sam and Max' and 'WAllace and Grommit'. Those were such fun games! ***** Please READ HERE if you purchased games via the TellTale website. ***** You can read about it Here. Ana

I don't think the new CEO did it any good. Too many extremely expensive licences to pay for.

The end of Tell Tale Games is nearing. So sad. I wish they would have just stayed making 'Sam and Max' and 'WAllace and Grommit'. Those were such fun games! "Wallace and Grommit" and "Puzzle Agent" would be my favorites. Their "Sam and Max" series was good too. I didn't care for their version of Guybrush at all. "Back to the Future: The Game" was not great but not bad either. Their later games had QTE/choice-focussed gameplay that wasn't my idea of adventure, but I thought they were making those because people who didn't like the more "classic" adventure games liked them and that they were making money off them.

I forgot Puzzle Agent, those are my three favorites as well. I did not care for Back to the future as much. I have not had any interest in the latest offerings at all, but i thought others did. Apparently they lost money on all except the first season of the WAlking Dead.

Yup, read tons of articles. Lots of tweets too from employees. It's shaking up lots of developers too.

I went to the site to download the games I bought while I still can, I'll probably copy them to discs. I played most of them already but I should keep copies in case I want a repeat.

THe 30 minutes to leave the building is not so surprising. Generally, when letting someone go, they shutoff your computers while you called away from your desk and then you are allowed back in your space to get your belongings and leave. The very last thing a company wants is a disgruntled employee in the building or having any access to the data. I've worked in plenty of offices and that was standard operating procedure.

Good! I wonder if the CEO's tweet is still around where he said he wasn't closing, and he plans to be back. I can't find where I saw it now.

Isn't it just amazing how toxic the environment can be on social media, CaptainD? I recall a time the GameBoomers for mocked online for not allowing and banning posters that attempted the same things. I am glad we never tolerated it and still don't. I have no problem deleting anyone that trolls and posts inflammatory remarks. Here comes more Layoffs for BigFish.
