Telltale Games, appearantly not quite dead, but dying (again)

[Lagomorph01]

Hi everyone, I don't know if you've seen this, but appearantly Telltale games is still a thing! Did you know that? I thought they went belly up a couple of years ago.

Anyway, there's some news reports that state that this undead company is dying all over again! Can anyone tell me if a LeChuck joke is appropriate or not?

Anyway, sad news for the people involved. Let's hope the staff members that got layed off find some new jobs soon.

It's like an Onion headline: News: Telltale Games Alive! Almost Dead

Just read another article, this time from Engadget, that had the following tidbit:

Telltale Games purchased UK-based studio Flavourworks only weeks before the layoffs.

So they released only one game before being in trouble again?

Deleted my previous post containing total guesses at the situation.

 

It appears that 10 jobs were cut across Telltale and London-based Flavourworks. So it wasn't exactly a "clear positions" from one country to move all work to another country like I blindly surmised earlier.
