I would have liked to have the Wallace and Grommit ones. Other than that, missing Guardians, Batman 2, and the minecraft ones

Well i went for them as i just don't see them ever coming back, on ebay, kinguin/g2a they all had their own things being cheapest.
Thought i had Wallace and Grommit on steam (and not missing) but guess it was GOG only.

Im so bummed out I missed that cool telltale humble bundle, especially the dollar tier was super crazy.
Hopefully all this nonsense will lead to a repeat bundle by them. :D

The Batman games and Guardian of the Galaxy will probably be able to kept on Steam if WB and Disney keep them there.
Only if they buy them out from what's left of Telltale or make some other deal. They may ultimately hold the licenses but not the assets for the game or the rights to the engine.
Comment has been collapsed.
Right there's some work that will have to go into but it's the respected owners licenses so it should be fairly easy to do. I'm not sure about WB but I have a feeling Disney might be trying to make it happen.
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, disney is all about their assets so i'm sure they will get a hold of their part if not more.

PHEW
Just checked and The Wolf Among Us is still in the store too.

Yes it is. Sorry bout that. I saw it but forgot to list it. It's up there now, didn't mean to scare ya :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for the list!
I think I might get Batman 2 from GMG, but Tales From The borderlands is too expensive. Hopefully 2K can get it back up (and cheaper), as I hear it is one of the best TT games, and requires no knowledge of the "official" franchise to play & enjoy.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's on Steam but isn't available for purchase atm.
Comment has been collapsed.
IMO, it's one of the best, together with Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. Those three are in a class of their own.

Yep. I've never played the original Borderlands games, but I loved TftB. It was a ton of fun.

You should've probably mark the gif as a spoiler for The Walking Dead (Season 1). I know it is a 7 year old game, but it is still worth playing and it is best going in blind.
Comment has been collapsed.
You know why I did not mark it as spoiler?
Because, I hasn't watched or played the game before, so I did not know its a spoiler. Only googled a "The walking dead game dead gif" and this is one of the results XD Pardon me for the unintentional spoiler tho

I was hoping to get "Minecraft Story Mode: Season Two", and nearly bought it from GamesRocket until I saw "Activation key must be used on the publisher's website" which of course no longer exists.
Comment has been collapsed.
did their site close? I had michonne there... I downloaded it months ago, but still...
Comment has been collapsed.
If you've already downloaded or got a Steam key you probably fine, since Steam will honour that. But some sites sell TellTale keys that need to be redeemed on their own site, and the link given goes nowhere. As nhahtdh points out, the corporate site still exists.
But you are aware they went bankrupt?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm aware they are busted, but also that their TWD IP has been sold, so the download sites might be still working, or migrated to a new domain.
Comment has been collapsed.
I own all of these either on Steam or XBox, so at least I'm grandfathered in. Sad to see them implode like this...I like being able to play a game once in a while that is as much about storytelling with some general interactivity as much as anything else. I don't always want to go full hardcore mode.
There's a time when you want to play HL/Assassin's Creed/GoW/DOOM and there's a time when you just want a casual story, and Telltale games did that pretty well.
The exception to that mode is Sam & Max, which are all legit adventure point-and-clicks, with some tricky-ass puzzles in there.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you don't care about having AAA graphics or voice acting, there are lots of other great story-focused games that don't demand much of the player! Night in the Woods, for instance, or Oxenfree, or VA-11 Hall-A.

My hope is that the final season of The Walking Dead will be released on Steam again someday. I have all the previous ones.

Same here, the only one of their game that I'm missing :(

I'm not so sure. Epic have basically bankrolled development.
The press release makes it sound like Epic Games is financially involved in the production of the remaining episodes, which would explain the sudden exclusivity shift mid-season.

Should have gone sale before they went out. I forgot to get TftB for my Borderlands collection :(

Still sad that Telltale died ;-;. There is still no one else on the market that makes game like them, and now I will have to just make do with what I have left to play :/.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah... I loved their games. I'm honestly a little surprised no one else has put out anything similar
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably because TT as successful as they are in the genre, they fail to survive. The industry always copies the successful formula instead of the one that failed. During the time they are still afloat probably had also noticed that the subsequent titles was not as popular. Many also turn to Visual Novels. Hiring Artists to draw Anime/Hentai/Generally good pictures but not good stories(debatable, not a big VN fan) seems to yield more returns. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Telltale failed to survive due to bad business decisions. They were putting out too many games, paying too much for licensed IP. They expected every game to be a blockbuster like TWD, though most games only sold a fraction thereof. They also ramped up production, saturating the market. Even fans of Telltale just weren't buying as many games as they were putting out.
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree, they even develop their own engine only for the latter management to void it to jump on Unity instead. It still leaves a bad taste how they dismissed the staffs with lies at the end. I hope they all had found new jobs and those who had harder living conditions managed to get better. Cheers~

It's only a single publisher so far, but Telltale isn't the only contributor to the Cinematic Adventure Game genre.
While I haven't played it myself, I've heard Firewatch [a walking simulator] compared to Telltale games as well, and given that Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman (the two creative leads for the first The Walking Dead game [but who, I believe, were not involved in later Telltale games] ) were involved, that's not entirely out of place. So for a broader interpretation of "similar", that may be a consideration as well.

Why can't they do a deep discount for the ones that are still available? I want the Batman ones.
Comment has been collapsed.
Telltale games weren't on sale since the closure announcement in September. Most probably there is noone left with rights to put games on sale. Not wanting to sound rude, but compared to other removals there has been much time to get these, if you really want them (without discount though).
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, come on. I didn't state that. Also I asked you to not take it rude, but you now acted intentionally as if you got me wrong.
You might not have read the announcement in September directly. But it was posted here on SG and since Telltale became one of the bigger indie dev studios, the story was in all game-related media, so you surely learned about it within a week. Due to the closure it was obvious that these games get purchase disabled / removed soon. For most of the games which get removed from Steam there neither isn't an announcement by the dev nor news depicting their situation. So after removal you have to get it very fast from resellers (if it's not taken from their stores at the same time), keysellers or traders who want to earn a fortune with already removed games. Your wishlisted Walking Dead: The Final Season was removed fast due to the takeover by Skybound. If you've checked its price development, you might get the idea how difficult/expensive it is to get removed games at all. However, you can get it now at Epic Game Store.
As Dohi64 pointed out correctly, the Telltale games got a base price drop after the announcement. The two Telltales' Batman games are on your wishlist, but I'm not sure if Steam notifies about base price drops as it does with discounts. But you probably know IsThereAnyDeal.
Getting one game is better than nothing, so the question is: after all your expenses you didn't have 15 € (or the equivalent price of it in your country) left in the last nine months? You couldn't have wished to get one of the games as gift from family or friends for Christmas or something else you celebrate? Then I'm honestly very sorry for you, since you probably belong to the poorest part of this community.
Trading might have been the way to go for you. But at least your SteamTrades profile seems a bit empty to me. I hope you entered at least all SG giveaways you could.
In the other case it's just about your own priorities about spending your money. And that's totally okay. But then you obviously didn't want them as bad as other things you bought during this time, though you knew that these games won't be available forever.
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't buy anything recently. Everything I got recently was free. Also I meant a deep discount to at least $5. Also Epic Store is trash and the game will never be on Steam now at all which is fucked up.
Comment has been collapsed.
Which game do you mean now? Only the Walking Dead games went there until now, because Skybound acquired them and Epic paid them some gazillions.. And I hope that Telltale will still earn some bucks for those remaining games at Steam, because it would increase the chance that the devs get their missing wages.
My suggestion: if you really want those two Batman games, I could buy Steam keys for both at Wingamestore and you contact me whenever you have the money for it (oh, and at listed price, nothing surplus).
Comment has been collapsed.
The final Walking Dead game. Also no that's okay. I will eventually get them somehow. I find it interesting that Xbox One has the Minecraft bundle including the Telltale game still available.

Telltale games weren't on sale since the closure announcement in September.
that's not true, I picked some up in october or november, they even had a permanent price drop on steam from 23 eur to 15 eur. not on gog though.

Well, that would even better then. According to ITAD, Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us e.g. weren't on sale at Steam since the summer sale. But you're right regarding the base price drop.

Nobody is talking about the Wallace & Gromit games anymore, but I thought they were great. They haven't been for sale since 2014, since Telltale and Aardman couldn't agree on a continuation deal apparently.

Comment has been collapsed.
maybe, i'm not sure. I don't really know how any of this kind of stuff works.
Comment has been collapsed.
the quick answer is "it depends"
Someone owns the rights to the overall world and setting. That someone may license another person (or company) to create and sell further stories in that universe. Now's where it gets tricky, because, well, you've got the rights to the setting, the rights to the story, and the rights to the underlying technology.
Who has access to what rights really depends on the agreement - a good agreement can include eventualities for example, King Syndicate, when it licensed the Popeye IP to Fleisher Animation Studios, included a provision that the cartoons would need to be destroyed after 10 years - if no other agreement could be reached whereas a bad agreement (which is not uncommon) would have the rights lost in limbo see for example No One Lives Forever, where the rights sort of belong to three major companies, but none of them know to what extent their rights go
