Eric Stirpe (Lead writer of MCSM s2 and writer of Batman: The Telltale Series) and Molly Maloney (Narrative Designer for GOTG and TFTB) have both announced that they are leaving Telltale. Molly got a new job in LA and Eric is going to get back into animation. I would like to wish @stirpicus and his wife the best of luck in their new life, and thank them for the great stories they made.

Eric Stirpe has worked on many great games, such as
* MCSM s1 writer for all episodes aside from 104
* Lead writer for MCSM s2
* Writer on 104 of Batman: The Telltale Series
* Writer on 204 of The Walking Dead

Thank you Eric and Molly. You both helped pave the way for the next generation of Telltale writers.

    I saw this yesterday and would also like to with both Eric and Molly good luck for their move to Los Angeles.

    Eric was also one of the main writers for Tales from the Borderlands episode 3, i remember him saying he wrote this joke because he saw all the “soon” jokes on the forum.

    Oh God, it's happening again.

    In all seriousness, I wish them both the best of luck going forward. Both have done great work in the past with Telltale, and while I have always been critical of Amid the Ruins (of which Stirpe cowrote) I never denied he has a very talented writer, his work on TFTBL shows that.

    This is heartbreaking. Two highly talented people who played a huge part of Telltale's success moving on to future endeavours. Thank you both so much for the hard work and dedication you have put into your games. I wish you the very best of luck in the future :smile:

    Oh man, no! More recognisable names of Telltale have left...

    I wish Eric and Molly the best of luck in their shift to LA, and I hope they continue to make amazing projects in the near future.

    Goodbye Molly Maloney

    Goodbye Eric Stirpe

    Its a shame to see such great people leave, but its gotta happen eventually. I wish them the absolute best of luck on their next ventures together.

    I’m going to miss Eric. My interactions with him were always nice and friendly. I wish him the best in the future.

    I liked the work of both of them. Sad to see them going, but I wish them the very best for the future.

    Speaking of ... wasn't Eric involved with the Stranger Things project?
