Telltale Games’ final chapter hasn’t been a pretty sight. It’s been sudden, it’s left its employees stranded without work or severance, and yet it’s still managing to drag on and on. While the vast majority of the team were laid off in September, a “skeleton crew” of around 25 was kept on to fulfil contractual obligations, suspected to be related to Minecraft: Story Mode’s Netflix adaption. Now even that skeleton crew is diminishing.
Heeeeyyyy remember how there was going to be a skeleton crew staying on for a while and I was part of it? Nah, jk, we all just got laid off, too.

Many took Retchel’s initial tweet to mean that Telltale had formally ceased to exist, but this was later clarified that it was just her team that was laid off.
I think there was some misunderstanding about my earlier message… There are still good people at the company. MY team is done.

So how many are actually left? Not many…
