Why Is Minecraft Story Mode $99.99 On XBox 360?

Why Is Minecraft Story Mode $99.99 On XBox 360?

, , , , , , , 0

If you go to the XBox 360 marketplace this week and look up the serialized video game Minecraft Story Mode, you might get a little sticker shock. Okay, more of a lighting bolt frying your brain — $99.99 is the tag. That isn’t the price of the entire series, it’s just one individual chapter. Each chapter costs $99.99 and there are thirteen chapters in all, so to purchase Minecraft Story Mode on the 360 these days, one would need to spend $1,299.87. Just charge it. Why exactly is this game — the digital version, no less — worth so much now? It isn’t. The ridiculous price is more of a preventative measure than an offer. The game is there, but technically Microsoft can’t sell it, and due to the strange way this aging marketplace (founded in 2005) works, this is the only way they can keep people from buying it. Minecraft Story Mode was made by Telltale Games. Telltale Games no longer exists, and their Minecraft license is void. The

A giant shockwave hit the gaming newsfeed Friday afternoon with reports that Telltale Games was filing for bankruptcy and would cease operations immediately. Their entire payroll was let go that very day save for 25 people, who were being kept on to finish up an unspecified project. It was everyone’s assumption that Telltale’s final project would be the Walking Dead game series they started back in 2011 — it’s “The Final Chapter,” after all, and they already have a Season Pass out there. But follow-up reports stated the skeleton crew was actually assigned to finish up “Minecraft Story Mode” for Netflix. What does that mean for all their announced upcoming games? If no one else steps up to take on their development, it could very well mean those games will never be completed. And that’s a true loss: one of Telltale’s announced titles for 2019 was a sequel to “A Wolf Among Us,” one of their most critically praised titles (even if it didn’t sell well). The sad truth is,

Telltale Games have become world-renowned experts at taking story-rich properties and mining them for their full potential, whether the property is as obscure as Fables or as permanently zeitgeisty as Batman. Now they’re going back in time (no, not Back to the Future…they already did that one) to the early 80s — the era of creepy creatures, mirror dimensions, children with destructive psychic powers, and shoulder pads. Ah, the memories. Yes, Telltale announced a Stranger Things game this week. Just the announcement was made, with no other information. If it’s like their others, then it will probably be a point-and-click adventure game released in chapters, and at some point you will read the words “Eleven will remember this.” There’s more: Telltale is working with Netflix in more than one fashion, developing a series of “interactive narratives” for the streaming service. They’re half-shows, half-games where you decide what happens next with your remote. There already exist a few of these on Netflix, with titles like Stretch Armstrong: The Breakout and Buddy
