Hi Robby. The Walking Dead series was removed from purchase before the thread was made. Are you sure you saw a purchase tag on those games?

Are you on the West Coast?

When I looked around 3 hours ago there were no price tags for me. That's why I mentioned that they were removed before the thread was created. I asked if you were located on the West coast cause I was wondering if maybe it was a timed purchase removal from the store. I'm on the East coast.

I'm on the east coast as well, I just didn't notice they were removed. I saw an article talking about Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, and Tales of Monkey Island so I put those with previously removed games and put the rest on this list

i do know walking dead was picked up by someone and most likley the other "moneymakers". the ones with store pages i would expect to return faster than the others but sadly monkey island had the store page removed so this could go either way.

One day perhaps. MI4 was only added on Steam a few days ago. I refuse to pay the "removed game" ridiculous prices, so I'll either grab Tales once it's being sold on Steam again or it shall never be part of my collection.

Noone is really dead until it's got forgotten. Now noone new will have a chance to play their games legal. Really bad solution to remove the games from the store, they was a part of gaming history that is worth to be safed. The walking dead is an awesome game that had earned a chance to be safed.

It seems to simply have been a case of a company growing too fast, and not really knowing what to do with their newfound success. They started hiring a lot more people, and started really churning out games, but few of their games ended up being successful enough for it to be sustainable, and by the time they realized what was going on, it was already too late. After the success of The Walking Dead, the top brass thought they had stumbled upon a winning formula, so they wanted all their other games to be like The Walking Dead, but in trying to repeat their success, they saturated the market, and people kind of lost interest. On top of all that, quality went downhill, with bugs, poor optimization and generally rushed products with stories that often felt a bit sloppy made people lose faith in Telltale.

My guess: licenses. Those can get pretty expensive, so what for any other company would be great sales numbers ends up not being enough for them.

my understanding is that they got too ambitious.
They had a few hits on their hands, and decided to pump out more and more games. Their niche has a limited appeal, and the games were competing with themselves - they made too many games in too short a time, and there simply weren't enough buyers.

wouldn't be so sure - according to reports I've read besides TWD and Minecraft they games didn't turn a profit - because they had very expensive licences. And now keep in mind, that as it's licensed product it's not just a case like with THQ of new publisher buying rights to older games, new publisher would also need to get licence for very popular and expensive IP - why would they if thewy already know the game did not sell enough even at release, less likely a few years later.

But at this point, the license is the only cost. The development costs are already paid, which was a significant expense, so they could get (or transfer) the license and sell the games.

5 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

first of all, not the only cost, you first pay for assets you purchase from TT, then you also negotiate licence of 3rd party to sell product opf their intelectual property - and licences for things like Game of Thrones, Marvel or DC comics are hella expensive. These games didn't earn their licence cost on premiere - when games get the best sales, so highly unlikely someone would decide to purchase licence again to sell the game which is known to give no profits. Only chance is for someone to purchase assets and negotiate their own new licence in order to develop sequels - if someone will be willing to do so they may as well be selling older game for some extra profit, but I doubt anyone will buy expensive licences IPs only to sell few years old games that would sell for pennies.

Actually, WB could potentially pick up Batman, and DIsney GOTG for next to nothing if those licences were not paid up front. Even if they were, it would be daft of them not to do so. There may even be a clause in the contract / licence already for that or for transfer of ownership under circumstances like we see now.

WB is the only possibility I can think of - because WB develop and publish lots of games themselves.
Disney after closure of Lucas Arts does not own any dev studio, they outsource Star Wars to EA, but TT games are unlikelly to follow (how do you monetize them? ;p)
Gearbox may not be intrested in making adventure game (especially as Tales sold horribly)
No other company holding licence has anything to do with video games and setting up a studio just to push forward something that already sold below expectations is unlikely.

They can sell them to license holders to publish.

Ehh, I wouldn't be really surprised if the rights to those games returned to the owner of the IP - so Batman to WB, Minecraft to MS, TWD to Kirkman.
Not sure who would pick The Monkey Island tho.

So games might return to being sold, but with no further sequels.

doubtful, unless TT owes money to these companies and they get the games as part of agreement instead of money - these companies own IP but not games themselves.

As for Monkey Island I'd say it's probably owned by Disney, games were developed and published by LucasArts, and Disney purchased whole LucasArts, not just Star Wars rights ;)
