Fans And Developers Are Torn About Whether The Walking Dead Games Should Continue

Today, what’s left of Telltale Games following mass layoffs on Friday released episode two of The Walking Dead: The Last Season. It’s good, and while it would take the series out on a high note, many fans are ambivalent about whatever comes next.

Nobody will care about the severance pay of the staff in 10 years. Not even the staff themselves.

The Walking Dead Final Season, however, will close the storyline upon which Telltale rose and fell. It will become a part of gaming history.

Art must triumph over greed.

Moe-Gunz2794d ago

It's not greed to make sure you're treated fairly by law from a company you work for. These developers have families and homes. To be tossed out without warning or severance is horrible. People like you are sad to look at. Greed is wanting a game for yourself at the expense of the developers lives because "me want to play".

Ogygian2794d ago (Edited 2794d ago )

I don't want this game and have no interest in it beyond its role in gaming history. Petty self-interest must be set aside for the greater good; without the ability to make such sacrifices, the pyramids never would have been built.

The former staff will get over it.

Wanting to be paid for your actual work/job/career is not greed.

Holy shit.

Ogygian2794d ago

They got paid. They now want bonus money for nothing, which is what severance is.

And that's fine in usual circumstances, when a company can afford it, but this is an obvious case of when they're just trying to take what they can get.

The American jobs market is great at the moment, with unemployment at its lowest for 50 years. They don't need free money.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing21d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit21d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing21d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
