    So there's currently a Humble Bundle that includes Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy, and it's labeled "Limited Quantity." It's been going for a week and it doesn't appear they've run out. Doesn't that just say it all?

      Editing … I was originally going to skip this bundle (or maybe get the $1 tier for OlliOlli 2 and Binary Domain). Now I'm considering getting the $9 tier because I don't know if/when GotG will be pulled from stores and I do want it. The BTA remains a waste though.

      Editing … Wait, is being pulled from digital retailers a possibility? I mean I don't think I'm ever going to buy any more of them but that would be some bullshit!

      Editing … Well all of their games are licensed and they can absolutely be pulled from retailers if and when the license expires, which has a good chance of happening if they go under. It happens somewhat often for licensed games, like with the Ghostbusters and Transformers games, and I know Castle of Illusion was gone from stores for awhile. It's even happened with Telltale before with their Wallace & Gromit game which is no long available, and I just discovered that apparently Poker Night 2 is gone from the Steam store as well.

      Editing … It's possible the games themselves will be bought in a liquidation sale, but I think they'd have to buy the licenses themselves as well at some point if they wanted to keep them up or ever continue the series. I'm not certain of the intricacies of that kind of thing, though. Anyhow I would bet that at least some more of their titles will be gone from stores in the next couple of years.

      Editing … Depending on who's interested I might guess that Sam & Max, Monkey Island, and Minecraft might be safe, but I'm not sure about the others. Poker Night at the Inventory has several different licenses so I'd bet that would go down eventually.

      Editing … I know it's a thing that has happened a lot, especially for comic book games (fuck me I'm pissed there's no way to legitimately buy Turtles in Time), but as games have become more venerated as an art form I would like to think that companies have started hashing out the stipulations so that games don't have to be pulled because the winds changed. I mean especially for a company like Telltale that were known predominantly for story, the Walking Dead being hailed as a landmark for storytelling in the medium. It would be like if your only means of watching the Wizard of Oz were the second hand market or piracy. Boy I am so ready to bring out the guillotines for fucking copyright lawyers and legislators.

      Editing … Zappo, Poker Night 2's already been taken down. I fear it may only be a matter of time for the rest, but maybe we'll get a big sale before the end.

      Editing … If they do get taken down and the grey market prices skyrocket, I've got no problem pirating them. Not like I wanna spend too much money on a Telltale game.
