Why are PC players favoured by Telltale?
I've realised Telltale favours PC users to console or mobile users. Telltale gives out the first episode of their old for free to PC users, but console and mobile users still have to pay full price. Prices of their games drop significantly on PC, yet ever so little after all these years on console (while mobile users are still paying full price.)
Not to mention PC users earn them the least money and [Mod edit: Please refrain from discussing game piracy in instances of other users]
Consoles and mobile should be the one getting these exclusives, not PC. Its just something I realised and decided to bring up.

Actually, it's most often the mobile and console players that get the first episode free once a Season ends.
Well, I'd beg to differ. While PC (and now mobile) have the first episode of Batman free whereas the consoles don't.. that's not how it always was. PC didn't always get the first episode of TFTB, GoT, MCSM, TWD, etc. That was always the console players who got it. Even now, after the 5th episode of TWD: ANF was released, neither PC nor Consoles have it free. Usually by this point they would but... it seems Telltale isn't as generous about that as they were in the past.
Also, Console players at least have the option of a "try-before-you-buy" method concerning the entire season. Consoles can get the content episodically, so you can buy the first episode if you're hesitant about the franchise. PC players only have the option of paying for the entire season upfront.. something that truly baffles me.
I've been a mobile player up till Batman released. Although PC aren't the ones getting the first episode free as compared to others, the price drop is huge. I think the entire season of Sam and Max season 3 now costs around 10 dollars? While on my console and mobile, an episode still costs 5 dollars. Back to the Future is also relatively cheap on PC as opposed to other platforms.
Console? No. That's true for mobile.
That's probably because Sam and Max Season 3 and Back to the Future were released in 2009/2010, and are basically old games at this point.
Exactly. Console and mobile users are paying full price yet PC users are getting it for a cheap price.
Sam and Max Season 3 isn't on consoles or mobile, and Back to the Future is priced around the same for mobile/consoles as it is PC.
EDIT: Just checked; Back to the Future is $10 on mobile and $20 (same price) on PC and Console.
EDIT 2: Actually, Sam and Max Season 3 is on PSN. Season Passes for Sam and Max 3 are the same price on PSN and PC.
They favor PC? Except for the constant PSN and phone sales of their season passes. Dude they advertised a BIG mobile sale not even a week ago.
Big sales have always been a PC thing overall. That's why you could say a good PC is cheaper than a console in the long run.
I think it is because there is a large audience that use PC.Steam Reviews play a part in "favouring". Like when GTA 5 banned the use of mods during the summer a lot of users gave the game a poor review. The game went from 90% and above to near 76% because people were unhappy. I am not sure that if people gave it a bad review on PSN store and Xbox Store that they would issue a statement. I think that Steam and Steam Reviews have much more of a say on what works in a game and what doesn't. The good thing is that Telltale constantly look through these forums for feedback and try to implement what we want so we do have just as much power as Steam Reviewers
I hope I made sense in my post if not then please let me know where i went wrong
Exactly, it's just the nature of the platform really. Buying games digitally has been a thing for PC quite a lot longer than it has for consoles. Then there's also the third-party aspect (by this I mean non-shady ones like GreenManGaming, Humble Bundle and Bundle Stars etc).
Because they make a lot of Point 'n' Click games. Mouse.
