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.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."
How about you not hold Blizzcon anymore period. You fucking POS company. I really hope Blizzard would just die.
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.
