Find the statement below.
Hi everyone, we have a Walking Dead update for you. Multiple potential partners have stepped forward to express interest in helping see The Final Season through to completion. While we can’t make any promises today, we are actively working towards a solution that will allow episodes 3 and 4 to be completed and released in some form. In the meantime, episode 2 will release across all platforms as planned. We hope to have answers for your other questions soon.

How does it work when a company shuts down but its games are still on sale? If noone else picks up the IP, where do the profits of defunct companies go if there is not reciever and administration left?
I don't think it's confirmed that the company has gone bankrupt. In theory the owners could shut down the studio and continue to earn money from the back catalog (like what Herve does with Interplay's games)
Didn't only like 5 people finish the last chapter of Tales from the Borderlands? I mean they could probably can 98% of their staff and still make the final chapter in the Walking Dead and a profit.There’s nothing that says going bankrupt dissolves a company. It can exist as a shell, basically collecting revenues and doing minimal administrative work. IIRC the legal entity of accounting firm Arthur Andersen existed for years, technically, as some kind of lodge.
However, typically fully dissolving a company takes time. It’ll go to bankruptcy court, assets, includong IP, will be sold, and resulting revenues allocated to creditors (if any), shareholders and employee benefits (if any are applicable). So typically the IP gets handed off at some point.
What? Of course it is the company's fault (and I mean the management). Who the hell's fault this would be? You are dumb.Of course, blame the company, not the incompetence of the people involved. They knew what they were in, knew the conditions they have, they decided it suits them. Cry me a river now.How can a company let go 250 people from one day to another without severance, without healthcare is beyond me. Oh, wait, they live in the USA, the best country in the world.

All I want out of this is for it to be a wake-up call for Daedalic.

I think you put the wrong word into quotation marks in that sentence, Bt.

I heartily approve of this post.
I am upset and sad for the 260 workers that got done dry with no lube, but the schadenfreude in me is chuckling a bit that Telltale closed.
Employees who were entitled to notice but did not receive it may generally recover pay and benefits for the period during which notice was not given, to a maximum of 60 days. Employers that do not provide required notice may also be liable for fines and penalties under both federal and state law, plus attorneys' fees for the employees who sue to collect wages, benefits, and penalties.
Heh, I was being hyperbolic. It's a little lube, okay! haha.
