Telltale Games Being Pulled From Steam As Liquidation Reportedly Begins

The slow demise of Telltale Games continues this week. The studio is not going anywhere, but, and anyone who owns them will maintain access to them.

The shuttering of Telltale Games has moved pretty quickly following the brief firing of 250 staff members in September, with the developer going through an assignment process that has been set up according to the state of the art. For now, Back to the Future, Tales of Monkey Island and Jurassic World have all been removed from Steam. Those games were all developed firstThe Walking Dead, which is when Telltale's popularity really took off.

As noted above, Telltale is currently working its way through an assignment, which are quite different from bankruptcy. This process allows a company to quickly shift its assets to new owners, potentially receiving compensation in return. That compensation is typically used to pay creditors what they are owed, allowing the company to end up more than just filing for bankruptcy. It's a bit of a messy ball of yarn and I'm not a legal expert, though, so I'm not sure it's a guess. If they are in the process of selling their properties, though, it might be a future date for a publisher.

As for now, the only clear answer The Walking Dead will be completed. Telltale fired the vast majority of its employees just as the second of four chapters was getting ready to roll out. The second chapter is planned, but it is expected that the rest of the season, along with most other Telltale projects, would be tossed into the bin. Enough folks were kept Minecraft The study of the film is made for the purpose of making money, but it seems that they are more likely to be ugly.

The sudden shuttering of the studio has produced a lawsuit. Those 250 employees were dropped without warning and lastly heard.

The sliver of silver Skybound, the studio owned by Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, stepped in to scoop up some of Telltale's train employees, thanks to a deal they struck with the closing studio, end the final season of the long-running game series.
