Telltale Games: Wiiware not much Cheaper than Disc

Telltale Games’ Dave Grossman has told SPOnG that digital distribution is about the only platform in which an episodic series can work.

However, he continues, "To be honest, it’s not that much cheaper to develop and publish a game on WiiWare than on disc… the real draw is that you get a lot more creative freedom, and that’s a big deal for us because you get a lot more control over the scheduling for a title like this.

"I mean, the alternative is to keep shipping discs in the mail to subscribers, and that’s not really a beneficial model."
