The Walking Dead Telltale game tells its own story separate from the comics/show, which contain a lot more shitty fridging and disposable women (though too be fair, its a anyone can die type of story so there's plenty of men dying too lol, the show has a bad habit of killing of its black and gay characters though regardless of gender and there is definitly elements of fridging women). I still personally enjoy it but it has a lot of problems. But the first Telltale Walking Dead is to me a masterpiece of emotional storytelling and the Lee/Clem relationship doesnt really follow the same tropes you're talking about. I think someone's wife does die in that one but its not the player character's wife and like... lots of people die in that lol. In fact thinking of it of the two charachters other than Clem who survive one has a dead wife and kid and one is a woman with a dead boyfriend so yeah its pretty equal opportunity. Oh wait I forgot the one with a dead racist dad lol. But anyway I'm info dumping.
Obviously the worker abuse shit was terrible lol but while the rest of the company's output is mixed bag the first Walking Dead game is very, very good and I wouldn't put Clem in that category even if there might be some appeal for gamers who want to PROTECC DAUGHTER for chuddy reasons.

That's been a time honored lazy writing tradition going back decades.
