And really what we found when we started talking to people in our network is that a lot of other industry veterans felt the same way. Like, 'Why wouldn't I help Telltale survive?'
"I mean this is a company that should still be in business. So it turned into a relatively easy task to secure the funding and go forward with the offer. Most of it came from other video game veterans and then I met Dave Miller and his team over at Athlon and they were also incredibly supportive of the idea and came in. So sometime in November we thought this might be a good idea. And, and before the end of December we were signing an offer."
"I would say for the current games, we're definitely focused on creative and maintaining them. We didn't acquire the company -- we acquired the assets, which means all those people are gone, the publishing team's gone, and there's a void that needs to be filled there.
"We had our plates full with standing the company back up, getting the development pipeline working again, figuring out future content and the rest of it. So, it makes sense for us to find a partner with expertise in publishing and in PR that had a team that was already in place. And the Athlon guys were very excited to be involved. They're a shareholder in addition to acting as our publisher. So they are participating in the entire vision and rebirth at Telltale Games. How we manage that for future titles is still an open question."
