Many people around the world were devastated to learn that Telltale Games was closing up shop, but none more than the employees themselves. After all, they were left jobless without warning, which is in direct violation of labor laws in the United States. That said, one ex-employee has now filed a lawsuit against Telltale on behalf of themself and their former co-workers.

Vernie Roberts, the former Telltale Games employee, filed the class action lawsuit in the San Francisco Federal Court recently against the studio for violating the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act of 1988. They did this by terminating their employees without warning them and without severance. Roberts is seeking a jury trial for wages that are equivalent to 60 days of employment, including benefits and interest.

It’s unknown at this time how Telltale will respond. If they intend on filing bankruptcy, it’ll be interesting to see exactly who this will fall on. Roberts seemingly has a winnable case, but with the studio shopping around the remainder of The Walking Dead’s final season, it’s anyone’s guess if they have any intention of making things right with their former employees.

In other Telltale Games news, footage leaked from the Stranger Things title they were making, and it looked amazing. The studio was upgrading their engine for the game, which could be seen in the short clips right here, but it definitely has their notable style all over it. As for the hundreds of people that lost their jobs last week, other developers have been reaching out in an attempt to put their minds at ease. Either way, we hope those affected are able to land on their feet and get past this with relative ease.
