Telltale Games shuts down (UPDATE: all remaining Telltale games to be delisted on May 27th)

Also, didn't Disney re-estabilished LucasArts recently? Shouldn't be up to them to give permission for Sam and Max in case?

Disney only hold the rights to Hit the Road, in any other case, the original rights default back to the creator, Steve Purcell. When Lucasarts canned Freelance Police, Steve was so frustrated with the cancellation that he gave the license to TTG to make Save the World, Beyond Time and Space, and The Devil’s Playhouse.

So arguably, they’d just need to get in contact with Purcell again, if they intend to rerelease the series, or make a Season 4.

So this came out of nowhere for me.

They also apparently decided to halt further comments in community sections for games they no longer own, which meant the Walking Dead section just suddenly decided to not allow posts.

Forgot to mention it, but Telltale's games have been systematically been restored across the board, including older titles that have been delisted long before the death of TTG. 

Sam & Max are getting remasters of all three seasons (Season 1 is out)

Tales from the Borderlands is getting rebundled and re-released as well as ported to other consoles.

The other games such as Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures, Tales of Monkey Island, Strong Bad, and so on are now back up on digital storefronts. Most games are restored, with the only exception to my knowledge being Guardians of the Galaxy.

Funnily enough, I was lucky enough to come across Guardians at Gamestop a month ago

At this point, Back to the Future and Jurassic Park still remain delisted.
