Telltale Games

What is the feasibility of a game client for Telltale, much like Steam?

Not counting the game launcher for each season, I wouldn't expect a client for every game together.

There isn't a game launcher for each season. There is a game launcher for each episode, except for the DVDs, which is then dependent on which game you're referring to.

Doubtful. Steam is a big service. Tons of people use it, and there are lots of games from a variety of different companies. Hell, even if no other companies used Steam, Valve's arguably large enough to warrant a client by themselves. Telltale's limited to themselves, and they're still relatively unknown. There's also the fact that none of their games have multiplayer, so the emphasis on gaming as social network wouldn't be as heavy as it is with Steam.

So yeah, I doubt it will happen. Although I do have a feeling their future releases will have an episode launcher like BttF did.

It wouldn't have to be a Steam clone or competitor. Just some kind of cross-game launcher that saves graphics settings and whatnot would be nice. Seems like that's the direction they were headed for with the BTTF launcher, so maybe they'll improve on that. It would be cool if you downloaded a launcher at the start of the season, and then could download each new episode through that launcher as they come out (maybe even automatically)

Yeah, I agree. It would be nice to get rid of that awful IE launcher they have now.
