Mind sharing screenshots? I can't see such a thing occurring on the web Xbox store, or any other platforms.

Honestly from what I know, the main thing keeping these specific games from coming back (MC story Mode season 1 and 2) is that who actually owns the rights to the game's soundtrack is really iffy or completely unknown by all parties previously involved. Weird situation. If they got that all sorted out then the games could definitely come back, as Microsoft already has the intellectual property rights for it, they just don't own the soundtrack apparently. If the Sam & Max games can come back from the ashes, I'm pretty confident the rest of the TellTale library (except Poker Night 2, Ash Williams and Brock Samson alone has guaranteed that game can never see the light of day ever again.) probably can too. It's just a matter of convincing the rights holders that there is demand for them, and then finding developers who actually know how to use Telltale Tool like Skunkape if they wanna actually make any improvements to the games beyond just reselling them.

Yeah, the soundtrack rights portion is iffy, to say the least. Antimo & Welles have said that they don't own the rights to the soundtrack (but the S1 Soundtrack[antimo.bandcamp.com] has been published to Bandcamp in an act of preservation).

So, the music rights are up in the air, possibly owned by Mojang/Microsoft, and trying to get all of this legal mumbo-jumbo untangled would cost a pretty penny for all the parties involved, which unfortunately might not be worth the effort, considering the middling reviews of both seasons.

I mean, critic and user reviews on platforms like iMDB, Metacritic and RottenTomatoes can be summed up to "They tried. It's a bland, generic attempt to make something interesting, it's sort of a movie, your choices don't really matter that much, the story and the game was made for literal 7 year olds", and as much as I hate to say it - being very nostalgic and having enjoyed both seasons myself - they're not wrong. Would Microsoft really want to pay a lot for two games that didn't really make that much in sales? A remaster / remake / reimagining that improves the story, the characters would be nice, and then to bundle with that the old games as part of a 'complete collection' would probably make more sense. That, or leaving it to rot in limbo, as is currently the case.

The chances for anything but limbo for MCSM are very, very low IMO. We have to move on, please.

Today I learned, that its OST is available, in FLAC, for free. I love you.

Idea Wiki is literally filled with wishlists and what-ifs. It's a fan-made page, there's no remaster in the works.
