They did. Telltale Incorporated folded in 2018. In 2019 LCG Entertainment bought the Telltale name, licensed their content and said, "We are Telltale Games now. We are going to do what Telltale was doing because that's what we are: Telltale Games. But not that other Telltale that owes that money to people, that's a different company."
Oh I just read about Disney doing that to the guy who wrote the original Star Wars novelizations, I think. They assumed all of Lucasfilm’s assets but not their liabilities, including royalty agreements.
It’s insane that this “works” for companies the size of Disney and Lucasfilm.
Ah, the benefits of nearly infinite money
"Also, employees of that other telltale that we are definitely not can go fuck themselves.
They're free to try and come back as expendable, independent contractors if they want."
