Dumb telltale question
If we purchase any telltale games on steam now, the people that worked on them don’t see any of that money, correct?

They're already out of the job and off the payroll, you're paying steam and the skeleton team working on netflix minecraft

That’s what I figured but I wasn’t sure if it’s standard for devs to get any royalties after the studio closes.

No they won't

Now, I'm not going to use the phrase "ethical piracy", but...

Kind of a related question, what is the chance of Telltale games being pulled from digital stores, specifically Xbox? If so I better pick up Batman and GotG before they disappear.

Most likely not, no.

Some Indie games are exceptions, depending on the size of the company, but you're never paying employees, you're paying the company. If you're working in a convenience store which for some reason earns 10 times as much in a month as they ever had, you're not earning more money, the store is.

They never did, game developers are salaried.
Upvote this man(?) so people can see the truth.
