Why keep trying to send me to the store?

I bought the entire game (aka season pass) for A New Frontier.

For whatever reason, every time I finish an episode, it immediately presents me with a screen that tries to send me to the store to buy the season\next episode.

It defaults the UI selection to going to the store, so I have to explicitly select 'not now' instead.

Only after leaving this screen does it then go to the screen where I can start the next episode (which used to be the default behavior in other telltale games).

As a customer of the entire game already, this 'flow' is extremely frustrating to me. You've significantly degraded my experience in favor of:

1) promoting sales, in-game, to customers who don't already own the entire game
2) de-prioritizing the quality of the experience for a customer who does own the entire game
3) not investing the engineering time to ensure this screen is bypassed when the customer already owns the content

As a long time fan of Telltale, and someone who was happy to pay full price for this game as a supporter of the brand, it's really disappointing to see them going this direction.

  • My favorite part is when it asks me to buy Season 2, even though I'm playing Season 3 and have the other 2 seasons downloaded.

  • It's been that way for a while. Telltale promoting their Season Pass to Season Pass owners. And it's already obnoxious enough even if you haven't bought the Season Pass.
