Has TellTale bitten off more than they can chew?
They have announced a great deal of new and upcoming games, yet are unable to keep up with their own deadlines of the few games they have in season right now, also they are not speaking to anyone about it. Everyone's waiting for the much delayed second episode of the wolf among us and now today it surfaces that they are busy acquiring new game titles, how bout focusing on getting done what people have already paid for.

As I have said before, Telltale is not officially making a James Bond game. Stating a "dream game" that they would love to make is something they do all the time, even prior to when they announced they have four games coming out in 2014.
I apologize but that fails to represent the argument that it appears that 4 episodic games in one year seems to be over extending their capabilities at the moment to deliver quality whiest being on a reasonable timeline.
Skilik, you are 100% right.
Look, Telltale's primary goal is to get the biggest name licenses available. That's all. This isn't a company known for risk-taking or pioneering creativity. Telltale piggybacks on popular franchises and tries to suck as much out of them as possible before moving on to the next. There is a reason why many in the industry don't have a lot of respect for the company. TTG's executives care nothing about the fans or adventure gaming.
Telltale is simply a factory for interactive movies with little original material.
...Ah, my bad. I thought that this was all about the James Bond thing. I'm just a community volunteer mod with no advance knowledge on why Telltale is silent about Wolf Among Us, but I'm pretty sure that this will be an isolated incident later on in 2014.
For the last few years, It has been typical of Telltale to announce multiple games while only having a few in production (while the rest would be in pre-design). Back in 2011-2012, Telltale had announced plans of/worked on Walking Dead Season 1, Wolf Among Us, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Law and Order, Puzzle Agent 2, and Hector. I may be off a little, but I recall Telltale mentioning sometimes in various articles that they will have a small team handle the design of the game prior to having a larger team produce the game. In other words, this wouldn't be the first time Telltale has a crazy amount of things in the oven, and it hasn't caused a three month episode gap before. As a previous Telltale fan with experience, I strongly doubt a three month gap between episodes will be common.
I don't recall hearing that a lot.
Chew slowly.
Lets hope so haha
Start juicing.
