Following the announcement about the closure of Telltale Games studio and the ejection of almost 250 employees, Telltale is now facing a lawsuit against their former employees.
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.
Marvel Rivals has just been announced! It's a free-to-play, team-based PvP shooter. Game features, first roster list and more revealed.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
I knew this was bound to happen
Probably not going to work unfortunately. Telltale falls into too many exemptions in the WARN act. Hopefully they are using a probono or “pay if you win” lawyer and they’re not wasting what money they have. Probably not seeing how unlikely the case is.
Shame that management woefully mismanaged this company. They had huge success with TWD, but ultimately it was that success that killed them. Over inflating the company and chasing only the biggest, most expensive licenses while failing to improve their tech or innovate at all.
TT built themselves on Sam & Max, yet they soon forgot that in favor of huge licenses and cookie-cutter games. It always offended me that they had massive financial success with TWD yet never upgraded the engine. Over 250 employees to build games that 10 person teams could make.
