The game industry is still reeling from the layoffs at Telltale Games late last week. While fans are bemoaning the potential loss of their favorite characters and the stories left untold, others are focusing on the human cost and demanding answers.

Speaking with anonymous sources inside Telltale, our sister site The Verge paints a harrowing picture. On Sept. 21, approximately 250 employees were let go all at once, The Verge reported. Sources say they were given roughly 30 minutes to leave the building. There was no offer of severance; they were simply terminated. It’s a stark contrast to the smaller batch of layoffs that occurred at the studio in November of last year, when employees were paid out the remainder of their salaries for the year and invited to a planned job fair.
