Yeah, they were basically just handed a script by Robert Kirkman when they did TWD. Obviously. Not.
Due to that it's basically all Telltale will make from now on. They found a sizable market of retards willing to pay for such 'games' so why not?

I don't blame Telltale for the new QTE Choose Your Own Adventure Game™ mold that they now use, because that is what the Publishers want, AND it is financially successful for them.
Just don't fuck up future Sam and Max games with that shit.

Hopefully they let that license travel on down the way.
Why?
They lost the license over a year ago. Thankfully.Didn't they also get the King's Quest license ? Just wait, for the new, edgy knight Graham to QTE his way to the throne.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with new genres
They don't own any rights to Sam & Max -- those belong to the creator, Steve Purcell.They lost the license for the very same reason they are going to get rid of Sam&Max one day. They'd have felt compelled to do an adventure game with King's Quest, god forbid.
There is nothing fundamentally wrong with new genres and I loved the Walking Dead ; what bugs me to no end is the fact that just because something sells better, the other good stuff has to disappear. It's like if they stopped doing books the very day someone invented movies.
I really think the problem is that many suits have zero imagination and are scared to death of trying something different and be the guy responsible for a big loss in the company, so they follow the fads and pretend that nothing else can work more to excuse their asses for lack of innovation than anything to do with reality.There is nothing fundamentally wrong with new genres and I loved the Walking Dead ; what bugs me to no end is the fact that just because something sells better, the other good stuff has to disappear.

I haven't played The Walking Dead, but yeah this exactly. Hollywood does it too, they go in fad phases and pretend everything else is dead forever. Then someone with the tiniest bit of common sense and talent makes a new thing like the old thing and everyone acts stunned it can still have an audience. So infuriating.
Just like how they kept sequels faithful in Thief,Fallout,Syndicate,X-Com(FPS version mostly),Sim City, Dungeen Keeper and many more franchises, Right?Eh, why? Sam & Max was always a classic adventure game franchise. It wouldn't be of any benefit to Telltale to adopt an established IP meant for classic adventure games when they could work with any new property they choose to that doesn't have classic adventure games made after it, and so far they've only announced working with new IPs after TWD's success.
