Telltale likely to shut down (Gaming)

So Telltale laid off all their staff except for the bare minimum that is required to meet their legal obligations for the near future. The studio is basically dead. There are a few good pieces on why this happened which you can probably google.

But here comes the real question: can I still play my games? Sam & Max for example has a check on startup where it looks at your Telltale login and password to make sure you own the game. A glitch caused this to be non functional for a while (right as I was replaying the game…) and it will not start up.

So this is the true test of the digital strategy. Will folks be able to play their games when the studio closes? Will a patch be issued? We will find out in a few weeks. I have a feeling many of you assuming yes will be proven naive.
