Telltale Games announced on Twitter last week, with little warning, that it’d be shuttering its doors. The news drew a not-unexpected amount of backlash and scrutiny based on first-hand accounts from the people involved. Now the same Twitter-based community is keeping the company on notice for its messy handling of the situation.

To coin a phrase, Gaming Twitter is the loose collection of gaming-affiliated individuals and companies. If it sounds a little odd, think of it this way: Twitter kind of breaks into different demographics, with large groups of people sharing common interests typically following each other. Gaming Twitter typically consists of game developers and publishers, vocal fans, streamers and LPers, and gaming journalists — a motley crew of boisterous personalities at its best.
