Telltale Explains Jurassic Park Jeep Scandal

Telltale Games, the makers of the new Jurassic Park video game, brought a Jurassic Park replica Jeep to Penny Arcade Expo this year. As cool as this Jeep was, it was kind of damaged, but they still showed it off at the con and everyone had a great time. And then scandal erupted.

JurassicJeep.com, the site that Telltale got the Jeep from, said that Telltale screwed up their Jeep and is refusing to pay for the damages. Telltale, on the other hand, said that the damages were not their fault.



Telltale co-founder Kevin Bruner recently expanded on this position, saying the damages took place while the vehicle was in transit, and Telltale simply thought the damages were there as a natural part of the vehicle’s life. He also said Telltale hasn’t refused to pay for the damages, but rather has been going through the normal insurance channels, which unfortunately could be a slow process. Bruner himself is now offering to pay for the damages out of his own pocket by cutting a check to JurassicJeep.com directly.

Frankly, I have a hard time believing that Telltale games would wreck and jeep and just not pay for the damages. Anyone cool enough to resurrect Monkey Island can’t be all that bad.
