Totally agree.
Once upon a time, TTG seemed like "the new LucasArts" for me, just with a different format, but the quality of their products was so high I felt it could just get better and better.
That's why I purchased almost everything from them as an act of FAITH. That's right, even in the past years I wasn't always completely happy with the stuff they came up with, even if it was pretty good and it was like "take my money, Telltale, get better and let us see what you really can do".
The faith is now over, the years have passed and their "promise" hasn't been kept. They need to do something special, REALLY special, to draw my attention (and money) again.
'nuff said, sorry for the outlet.

I've found these games atrociously rushed in terms of both writing and polish.

That's why, I'm not so much inclined anymore to throw my money at Telltale.
Me too.
Telltale = Bugs.
The problem is that after you experience the first bug in an adventure game, every time you get stucked, you feel that the game is broken. So, bugs in adventure games are the worst thing.
And I don't understand why their games have so many bugs & glitches (maybe a 7 years old messed-up engine?). They're some of the worst software house in that, they don't ever release patches for their episodes (apart the ones that correct game-breaking (!!!!!) problems).
Is their greatest era already passed?

Not so much boycotting as noticing a steady decline in quality.
I used to pre-order pretty much anything from TT.
But combine this season's quality with the current sub-par customer support, unkept features/deadlines, shafting pre-order customers, and the fact the Telltale's new policy seems to be "Quantity over Quality"
That's why, I'm not so much inclined anymore to throw my money at Telltale.

Sorry Telltale, No more purchases from me.
That seems a bit harsh. I, obviously, was as disappointed as you with BttF (and Poker Night) but Puzzle Agent 2 looks promising.
I suppose my take is to evaluate each game/franchise instead of actively boycotting a company, be it TTG or others.

Well, having played the full season now, I can safely say:
Wow, that was disappointing.
I wanted to love this season, I really did, but I just can't...
Apart from the sheer nostalgia factor, I really can't name any redeeming thing about it. (Apart from AJ & Loyd)
It just feels unfinished and well, incredibly cheap to be honest.
Sorry Telltale, No more purchases from me.

Why do you hope it's the last? I've been enjoying the series, and this one was great too.
