Laid-off Telltale Games employee reveals shocking situation following termination meeting Telltale GamesOn Friday, September 21, Telltale Games announced it was going into a \u201cmajority studio closure\u201d that would result in the loss of employment for over 200 employees. Now one of the laid off employees has shared more details on the situation. After the layoffs were announced, Telltale employees were told they had just 30 minutes to gather personal items and leave the building after being hit with the news. On Monday, September 24, Narrative Designer Emily Grace Buck, one of the employees who was let go, shed more light on the developing situation. According to Grace Buck, employees affected by the mass layoffs have three hours on Monday to collect any personal items they weren\u2019t able to on Friday. CEO of Telltale Games Pete Hawley said it had been an \u201cincredibly difficult year\u201d for the company, which saw its games fail to sell enough to avoid the mass layoffs. Reports say that Telltale\u2019s first The Walking Dead and Minecraft games were very successful, but other then that numbers for the studios games have been lackluster, their recent Batman game \u201cEnemy Within\u201d was reportedly one of the studio\u2019s worst performing game ever. This isn\u2019t the first time Telltale has laid off staff, In November of 2017 the company laid off 25% of its workforce, about 90 people at the time, the big difference this time, is that there will be no severance pay given to those who were laid off because it\u2019s due to bankruptcy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
