Console Telltale Layoffs

Will console still be supported? I would honestly pay $60 if you guys were to do updates and sell them as DLC. It would be better than not getting anything on Xbox One.

Information will be announced as it is available. I do believe that the intent is to continue support for it.

The longer whoever is in charge now hesitates, the more patience (support and therefore chance to keep it alive) will fade away. It is market economy. Remember this.

It's not a question of hesitation. You don't announce something until you have hard data. There's a lot of legal discussions that are going to have to be made here. Meetings with lawyers and companies. It's not something you can just say and it will happen.

You're going to need to have some patience. It will take time to sort things out.

 
TTP is bringing Stranded Deep to the X-Box and PS4. I was looking foward to trying it,but after this buggy mess with the whole company. I don't want to try that with the company that is left. Real drag.

 
Well like Richard said PC will get theirs and we can still speculate. As far as us X-box users,to bad.And to all us console users nana,na,na.

Actually we do get alphas FYI almost all of alpha 16 for those who said console doesn't also the branch of tell tale was the stupid novel type games such as wolf amount us. Also iron Galaxy is a huge part of the console version. Stop speculating and lying to one another to sit wait and keep turning in cuz it'll come

A couple of points, just to be clear.

We, the console players, DONT get alphas in the strictest sense, as the game on console is considered a full release. So although I see your point about features from the PC alphas coming across, its not quite the same. Its important to distinguish this as there were (and still are) myths floating about that console players will get EVERYTHING that has already appeared on PC. That CANNOT happen, as has been officially stated many times. Current consoles have too limited RAM and other resources for this.

Secondly, regarding the accusation of lying and speculating that "itll come". Again, whilst youre correct in general about speculation, the point about updates forthcoming to the consoles has been addressed by the team - its the start of this very thread.

It states that consoles versions will continue to be supported as long as they can. Now, granted thats an open statement, but it is most definitely NOT the case that its finished for console. As I pointed out on the previous page, iron galaxy are the devs responsible for console, and TT being publisher. We dont know any of the contractual details between them, so we cannot know whether theres any further funding due, or how much.

But, if the console devs themselves state that they are intending to continue as long as possible, there is good reason to take them precisely at their word, as they have been similarly conservative and straightforward in all communications previously.

Lastly, we DO have to sit and wait because bankruptcies, insolvencies, and closures take time to sort through the loose ends. As 7dtd was one of the two games that were actually still making money for TT, you can bet someone will try to bid for the rights, if iron galaxy themselves are unable to.

But it takes time. A couple of decades ago, I was made redundant after the company i word for went kaput. The auditors kept a few of us management on for a few weeks, then that was it. Last couple of days was auctioing assets off. I was owed two weeks holiday pay, but as with all insolvencies, I had to join the list of creditors.

I finally got my money paid, in one full sum, 9 years later.

Everyone really needs to stop jumping to conclusions. I see this type of click bait on youtube as well. Nobody really knows anything. The fate of what is to come is up in the air. Until someone comes out and says one way or the other on the future of the console, we all just have to sit back and be patient. It sucks not knowing, but is the way of life. We will get an answer.

 
Nope! The exact same message was posted in the PC section as well.The consoles don't get alphas, only updates.

PC people were afraid that the Telltale story would also affect the PC alpha 17, so Richard wanted to let them know that it is still coming out soon.

And that's why I told Richard to be more specific in his message... Because some people might not understand.

Check your facts they where working on updating game engine so they can do the PC stuff

100% agree.

We have bought the game anyways, so waiting a few days/weeks/months more is no problem.

We are and will stay 7DTD players and customers.

But such a news brings fear and uncertainty in minds, so such reactions are not unexpected.

You have made a terrible assumption there. You seem to think this is opinion im discussing. It isnt. It is EMPIRICAL, objective fact. Im sorry if you dont understand the difference, but its basically this - you get your own opinion, but you dont get your own reality.

What I mean is that the point about them intending to support the game as long as they are able to is RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THIS THREAD.

If youre saying you have some evidence that is incorrect, then you must provide evidence as per your burden of proof.

So, please, if this is wrong, have at it. But you dont get to say its wrong and just walk away without any proof.

So please, keep it civil and on point

Not going to say you are wrong but some of it is speculation. We have no clue how the contract was written so we have no clue if it will be bid off or what is going on at this point. At this point of time until an actual staff member let's us know all anyone is doing is speculating. So that doesn't mean someone is wrong but also doesn't make them right either. :)

This is a Test for the TFP ppl,on how badly they want their product and Future products on Console.Because Reputation on console is everything it doesn't matter if your publishing are the IP Owner of a game,once the word is out your a gaming company that cannot be trusted in any aspect good luck making money(Bungie,EA)you may have a solid base that's all you'll have. Bottom line all I want is what everyone wants is the updated content "yes" more importantly for 7dtd to succeed on console.

Over 2 million steam copies sold would say console isn't everything. I think everyone is forgetting the fact that it still hasn't even been a week and everyone is wanting answers right now ok maybe not everyone but most. It is almost like oh it is this way or that way because nothing has been said yet. They are not going to have the answers some are looking for right smack away. Just isn't going to happen regardless how you feel about it. 5 or 6 days counting a weekend in that time isn't that much time to get things in order for something like this. At least they did come on and say what they said at the start of this thread. As of now that is all they have for us. Give them time to get things in order no body owes anyone here nothing at all. So be grateful they want to continue to update all platforms as much as they can.

Did I sound are act like I was ungrateful? Are just showed concern for a game like,did I give out timelines for this and that? No, I didn't so you can take your condescending additude and shove it up your rear. Because you're not the only one that can show concern for this game. Man, I deal with Inmates for a living you don't intimidate me in the slightest. I've been viewing the 7dtd fourm for a year so,so I know all about you cuz.

 
Only two million copy's the fault falls on Telltale Publishing not given 7dtd the push needed,if your basing off Triple A Company numbers that isn't far to the TFP.People on console didn't really know of 7dtd,until content creaters like Skippy being on PS4 came along.By that time the word was out about game breaking bugs(MD5 ERROR)mainly, so that hurt sells coincide with slow updates. With 1,300 posts would've thought the basic information about console problems would be known to you. Than again ppl also watch Kage,Kickz,GameEdge,Max,should I go on? Nevertheless they watch'em on PC instead buying 7dtd on console they go PC instead. Do you need any more logical proof or facts?

Did I say you? I do think you should calm down dude. I quoted you yes but doesn't mean the whole message was toward that post. So you jump to conclusions without asking telling me off. So I will just put a stop to it here before it gets out of hands and a mod gets involved. Have a good days sir

I said 2 million steam copies that is PC not console. I don't have the numbers for console. But TT has nothing to do with the sales on PC besides yeah maybe a few console players has PC as well and found out through console first but it isn't near the majority of those sales. I was just pointing out as far as the game itself goes console isn't everything. The game would not die if console version dies. Just sayin
