Telltale Games does 40% of its business on consoles

Why is Nintendo not listed in a tag as their strongbad games were WiiWare and Sam and MAx Season 1 is on the Wii too.

I'm still waiting to do a 'LOST' game. I'm too big on the point and click style of adventure games but if they made one based on the show, I'd get it in a heartbeat. That or I'd love them to do a game based on The Maxx or Cerebus comic book series.

I'm still waiting 'FOR THEM' to do a 'LOST' game. I can't type for crap.

I don't know if that's good or bad. I've heard that Telltale's console adventures aren't the best selling things out there. I know Fright of the Bumblebees didn't come close to making the top 10 during the week it came out on XBLA.

Now put the first 2 seasons of Sam and Max on PSN, please.

It goes to show that if you take the effort to put a quality game out there, it can sell in downloadable form. For those of you who haven't yet played a Sam & Max game, it's a point and click series where you look for and piece together objects and clues to solve bizarre mystery capers. Not for everyone, probably, but I really like them a lot. The offbeat and often laugh-out-loud humor disguises a bunch of cerebral gameplay where you often have to think outside the box to move on to the next puzzle or event.

I think that the downloadable market could potentially be a huge and profitable way for lesser-known but still quality games to do well instead of having to compete directly against the major disc-based franchises. There already is a much wider representation of genres on PSN and XBox LIVE than there are in either console's disc-based library. Honestly I don't care if the games are disc-based or not; if they're good enough and are what I am looking for, I'll buy them.

Hear me out people. MIGHTY BOOSH meets Telltale. The show is practically formatted for adventure games. HEAR ME OUT PEOPLE.

As someone who likes to use a mouse as an input device whenever possible, that figure is alarming. When a company like Telltale puts all its resources behind designing games for the PC first and foremost and then later re-releases them on consoles with serious control and frame-rate issues, only to find that those late, bad ports end up providing 40% of their income, then making games for the PC starts to look like going against the grain. And we've seen Telltale shift their focus to consoles already, haven't we? Starting with Wallace & Gromit, where you control the character directly in a very awkward way on PC. I've got a feeling just about every developer has seen and is seeing these kinds of statistics, and shifting their focus to where they need to.

Though I love playing on PC, I'm not blaming anyone or crying out in anger here. But when people say PC gaming is dying/dead, they're right; and this is why. But there are just two things that make a PC a PC and not a console; the ability to use a mouse/keyboard as an input device, and the ability for users to create their own content like mods and levels; the latter of which has almost completely vanished on PC anyway, now that most games are console-to-PC ports. The former, though, is the most important to me (as much as I love using mods. [Try playing Warcraft or Fallout 3 without addons... yikes!]). Would it really kill developers to add simple mouse functionality to applicable games (shooters and RTSes, etc.) for those of us who would use it? Segregate mouse-players from stick-players in online matchmaking, and you're golden.

Sheesh; sorry about the tangent there. Good for Telltale at any rate; they make good stuff.
