20 Most WTF Video Game Moments Of The PS4, Xbox One & Nintendo Switch Generation

20. Telltale Games Goes Bust

Who could've ever seen this coming? In September 2018, Telltale Games announced that 90% of their employees were being made redundant as the studio effectively closed down operations.

Given that players and industry analysts alike assumed that Telltale had been generating healthy revenue from their many episodic video game projects, it was a shock to learn that only the first season of The Walking Dead and Minecraft: Story Mode ever actually turned a profit.

Due to the surprise shuttering, employees received no warning of the closure and had to leave the office within 30 minutes of the announcement, while also receiving no severance pay.

Several in-development games were either cancelled or palmed off to other developers - including The Walking Dead's final season - and though the Telltale brand was acquired by LCG Entertainment last year, the fact that such a robust titan of the industry could fall so quickly was nothing short of baffling.
