I was wondering if anyone knows anything about LCG Entertainment, that apparently scooped up some (but not all) of Telltale's back catalog. Apparently, they are planning to develop new games as well.

I thought there was another thread as well but couldn't find it.

Oh, damn, I tried searching for it first, but couldn't find the topic. Thanks!

Yes, another company has purchased the name and some of the IP... much like Nordic Games purchasing the name THQ and much of THQ's IPs. Different companies but using the old names for branding and having the ability to repackage or expand on IPs. So, not quite a restructuring, but another company "picking up the pieces."

Not the same at all, but I keep thinking about Hostess (the folks that made Twinkies). The company went bankrupt and let go all of its workers. Then they sold to an investment group who then bought the name, recipes, etc. and started production again. That whole scenario happened because Hostess didn't want to pay retirement pensions. Crazy.

Immoral? Yes. Crazy? Quite the opposite.

I'm using "crazy" as slang... the chaotic state of the world, not as a mental state.

God just die already you talentless, uncreative licensing factory (I refuse to call them game devs).

Well, to be fair, the talentless licensing factory technically is gone. All the people responsible for that have disbanded. Jim Sterling made a decent video on this about how people are convinced the brand makes games, which is the whole reason companies buy up dead brands. People make games, not the brand they are united under. People, and all those people are gone.

Nothing to apologize about! I was the one using lazy slang

I was somewhat amused when Activision tried to resurrect Sierra as a brand but only interesting title they managed to brand under it was the Odd Gentlemens new KQ. I do wonder if they genuinely though one classic title was enough to resurrect the former money-making machine.

Remember all the people who stupidly(or wisely I guess) bought a bunch of snacks and sold some of them/tried selling them on sites like eBay for hundreds?

I wonder if any of them didn't make much and ended up with a ton of snack they had to "eat the cost" on.

You'd be amazed how many buy things made by new owners using old brands to sell stuff to people.

Also as many know a ton of products are made by a few parents companies per country in some countries(if not most).
