I can neither confirm nor deny my current location, and any strange smells emanating from the raptor bushes are merely my exotic cologne.

 
SylenThunder is right, please don't panic.Sometimes publishers owns Intellectual Property and Copyrights of the games they publish, it seems it is not the case for TellTales with 7DTD.

So wait and see ... and smash a few zombies heads meanwhile !

PS : and the unofficial word : please read carefully, nothing official here)

THIS ppl need to tell the dif between publishers and developers

 
How do you mean? What will happen to people playing on XBox?

Worst case, the MD5 issue on the XBox won't get fixed. Although Microsoft could decide to switch to a file system that's been stable since 1993, and standard since 2000. Given that they didn't already start using it on a console made in 2013, I wouldn't recommend holding your breath for it.

I fully understand the difference.. my concern was the future of the console version of the game.. i cant afford a pc for this game and would like to see more updates :)

This game has a cult following and i would like to continue being a part of this cult lol

 
It hasn't been an issue on PS4 in a long time, except perhaps as a rare occurrence.

Even then it was still a rare occurrence no more then it is now. Know several people I play with myself included that has had the game on console from day 1 or very close to it and out of all of us it only happened once and that was because the host had a corrupted ps4 it turned out. Some (not all) of the issues from ps4 if it happens is from the player not the game from what the reports turned out. Unlike xbox where it doesn't matter what you do it will most likely happen.

Trust me, the cult will go on. This game is way too popular and fun for someone not to pick up.

I've been playing since it come to consoles too and while I've had my fair share of bugs, I've never experienced the MD5 - I went through a lot of crashes early on, especially when playing online but its been so stable for such a long time now. It's such a shame that the players on Xbox are having s much trouble.

 
Now it's a good opportunity to see if TellTales was a company caring of their players or only a sub-contractor caring only for their partners.

TellTales interactive games were a contract with Netflix, so there is no point of discussing them here.

7DTD console was a game for players, so :

- if TellTale do cares of their player base, we will have an official word in the next days clarifying what will be (and will not be) done on 7DTD. No matter how hard the decision may (and will) sound, it will cancel any uncertainty and doubt and settle things for good.

- if TellTales doesn't care about their player base, the company will disband without a word. (aka "players are left behind" and "players, get lost !").

--------------------

Edit :

The Fun pimps made a statement : the console version will continue

THIS is fake news. I'd like to see some real information.

This is what im talking about, where you get the "this is not the case" quote your ♥♥♥♥ please, people need to just stop saying ♥♥♥♥. How the ♥♥♥♥ do you publish something you don't have the sole publishing rights for?! jesus.

If life were rainbows and unicorns sure. If any wise businessmen were to look into the franchise, they may think elsewise. Who wants to pick up a extremly neglected slow ported version of a popular game, that's like becoming the president after trump, its gonna be a huge clean up.

I'd love to think this is all going to be roses and fairies, but realistically, I dont see console version going anywhere now, until the main game goes gold. it's gonna be dead in the water. Not to mention all the legal costs and battles that may be coming up for the fun pimps.

 
Wow, you sound like a basket of negativity...how about going out for a smoke, besides if you go to ttg website, under telltale publishing it says 7d2d. Perhaps you should do some research before smearing your fake news....lol

 
Proof of "fake news" ? (except for an outdated website) ...

Edit :

Don't get me wrong, I would really like hearing those are fake news, and 7DTD is not hindered in any way by a company closure. But we need an official statement at this point.

As a player, I would like to thank TFP for their statement, we console players of 7DTD will be backed up as much as possible by TFP, it's a good news.

Thanks to TFP, we won't go into another Dragon Fin Soup-like mess.

Everyone's an expert all the time, especially That Guy On The Internet.

The inconvenient truth is that rights and licenses are far less simple than "you must have exclusive rights to everything before you can publish anything".

To my knowledge TTG has the license to some bits of the entire "TWD thing" but not others.

Just an example.

You will be notified when there is something tangible to post. Right now there isn't.

So keep cool and drink legal beverages.
