This doesn't look good for Telltale, or TWD. I mean, they can probably get other good writers, but the most prominent good ones we know are now gone...
What it will take Is for the company to have a negative public image and reception and potential decrease in sales. As long as telltale is making money with a good public image they basically ignore and dismiss all negative reception.
How big is Telltale? Do they have a development department? When you're dealing with a company that makes story-driven games based on extant IPs it's important to have a staff that can both work well to choose the appropriate IP and write the story well.
That said, the story writing part doesn't matter as much when you think of how many people are going to buy Guardians of the Galaxy? Especially if it premieres this year just after the movie (I'm guessing... that's what they should do). People will say it will drag down the brand, but let's be honest, how many people keep buying tickets to DC movies despite lousy movie after lousy movie after lousy movie. I might just be being cynical though.
well that explains all those awful decisions in ANF, none of the good writers were working on ANF. what i feared, all these guys working on other games (TFTBL, guess why that game was so good?) meant having other people that probably gave a shit about TWD working on it. i just hope ANF does end well and it ends there.
Even though I adored a lot of games they helped with for telltale especially tales and TWD s1
I think some new writers would be cool be interesting and refreshing to see new storylines sometimes newer telltale games can be bit to much formulaic and predictable especially newer TWD's same story beats. Kill all side characters and only keep lead alive at end of every game etc.
They did great job but some new writers may have interesting results I'm excited to see how future games will change now with new script writers
For example if the old and veteran writer feels that they can't take the story to new and interesting places, then it is really up to a fresh new writer who have their own ideas to take over the story. As well as an energized attitude and motivation rather than the previous writer who just want to move on to news things. No one want to get stuck forever, sooner or later, you have you move on.

Can't wait to see what they come up with at Ubisoft.

The gaming industry is brutal. Hope they do well at Ubisoft.
Hello darkness my old friend
I mean, they already have a bad image. In several places, they get called out for their broken games.
How could they leave us?
I've come to talk with you again

Maybe they want to make games
That's a very...thought-provoking picture.
I wish them the best of luck at Ubisoft. Maybe Ubisoft will be Telltale's rival they need?
Please DM me!
Wait, what do you mean story-driven games? Assassin's Creed is an Open World franchise.
Same here, man. As much as I hate Telltale in it's current state I know there is good talented people there who deserve much better.

Why are we still here... just to suffer...
And I was just listening to Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phamtom Pain music. Ironic.
I don't think having new writers is a bad thing.

Its a competitive industry I guess they were headhunted
But with the exception of Syndicate all of them focused mostly on the story and characters.
