Telltale Was Under “A Lot Of Pressure” To Duplicate The Walking Dead, Co-Founder Says
Telltale co-founder and former CEO Kevin Bruner recently spoke to us about the successes and downfalls of Telltale, as well as what led to its abrupt closure last year.
Several problems existed internally at Telltale, including rampant crunch across the studio and stifled creativity. One of the major factors behind Telltale's limited risk-taking had to do with The Walking Dead's success.
