SBCG4AP To Be Delisted from Steam - Remaster/Ports?
Telltale have recently made a news post that, due to losing the rights to the Homestar Runner IP, they are delisting Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People from Steam. This might seem like sad news (and it might be for archivists if the original version never gets sold again) but this is actually kind of exciting, because it gives Videlectrix the opportunity to make a remastered version that could get ported to modern consoles (NES, Atari 7800, Super Cassette Vision, etc.) Skunkape has done good work with the Sam and Max remasters, and I'm sure they'd be more than glad to work on this too, so there's a fair bit of potential.

In any case, if you don't have the game and you're worried nothing like this ever gets done, snatch it up now while you still know you'll be able to.

Does this version even still work? I know there were massive issues with the Sam and Max classic versions that required a new studio to redo the whole game, and this was released at the same time as those.

I never experienced any issues playing them. They all work fine, except for Sam and Max Save the World. The problem with Save the World (and not the other seasons, which all run fine) is that it wasn't designed for widescreen, which caused animation problems when you used a program to force it to be widescreen anyway.

I really don't believe a remaster is coming, the best thing they'd do is just self-publish the game and that's it.

The telltale engine is probably a nightmare to work with, and it'll probably be a nightmare to port it all into something like unity without the source code.

Skunkape did it for Sam and Max it's probably not that hard

This is not that unexpected since the license has already lapsed once and nu-Telltale paid for another year or so when they got restarted and then patched it up. Just go buy it already.

ok that's a shame there but glad i got them all and i hope one day they'll manage to remastered strong bad in the future just like sam and max and possibly a sequel?

The problem is that Telltale owns the rights to the actual games themselves. You can't just remake someone else's game and sell it as your own product, even if you licensed your characters to them for it.

Telltale only owns stuff relating to game production like their game engine and programming (also remember new Telltale is the not the original Telltale that had went bankrupt). And it's totally possible to redo a game that was done by another company/studio. There have been remakes and remasters by developers who weren't the original developers all the time.

Is there a source for this? Because usually that's not how licenses work. Usually when you grant someone the rights to adapt something, all you're selling them is the right to use your IP; anything original they come up with (plot, dialog, new characters, gameplay mechanics in the case of a video game) belongs to them. A famous example is how The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (the book) is public domain now, but because the ruby slippers were invented for the 1939 MGM movie, no other adaptation is allowed to include those unless they pay MGM for the rights.

I guess it depends on what was in the contract between the original Telltale and TBC (because I do realize there have been some joint efforts that resulted in shared IP -- Super Mario RPG is one such example), but TBC shouldn't need permission unless they were seeking a rerelease of the original game or if a remake turns out to need Telltale's assets during development.

I own SBCG4AP on GOG (I know, sacrilege!/j) and I haven't experienced any major bugs or glitches. There may be something, but from my play-through I found nothing.

Oh, and because I missed this part earlier (or was too tired to understand what you were saying):

That's because it's the publishers of the games who own the copyright, not the studio that actually made them (although sometimes the deal is temporary, like with Destiny, or the studio is able to buy the rights back, like with Psychonauts). All of those remakes and remasters were commissioned by the original publisher (e.g. Sony for Demon's Souls) or whoever bought them out (e.g. Activision-Blizzard for Crash Bandicoot). Telltale was an independent company and self-published all of their games, according to all the Wikipedia articles I've been poring over.
