Kevin Bruner, former CEO of Telltale Games is an unhappy man, and he's looking to get paid. The former CEO originally left his position in 2017, but stayed on the board of directors afterwards, and is now saying that Telltale didn't provide him with "informational support," which screwed him out of the chance to properly sell his holdings in the company, according to Blues News. Bruner is claiming that Telltale didn't meet its contractual obligations, instead cutting him off from all communications, then voting him off the board, says a Marin Independent Journal report.
The lawsuit claims that, "The net effect of Bruner’s alleged removal from the board of directors was that Bruner was deprived of relevant insight into the management and financial state of Telltale and the value of its shares." Bruner is also claiming that voting him out in the first place is BS, because the shareholders who did it didn't have enough stock in the company to cast sufficient votes in the first place.
When asked for comment, Telltale's lawyers called the suit "meritless" but when brought before a judge, he refused to dismiss the case outright, as Telltale asked.
Regardless of the legality of the whole thing, many point to Bruner as a big part of Telltale's decline in creativity, saying that his tenure was marked by unrest and turmoil among the staff.
