To date, name one episodic game that went it's full length to completion. I can't think of any. Even those that showed promise start to slow down down. elaware St. John came out in Episode 1 came out in June 2005. Episode 2 in Dec 2005. Here it is Dec 2006 and the third one hasn't come out yet and keeps getting pushed back. That series also went from I believe 10 planned episodes to 7. Next up is Agon. Episode 1 - Set 2003, Episode 2 - Nov 2003, Episode 3 - Sept 2004, Episode 4 - ? ...and this was a series of 14 planned episodes. So what do you have now? Episodes 1-3 being boxed and sold in one package for $20. Even the Delaware St. John games (episodes 1-2) are being boxed together and sold for $20. If you were a customer, would you risk buying a game that might never be completed? Wouldn't it be in your best interest to wait it out? If they do manage to finish the series, then you can enjoy the benefit of getting the entire series in one box at a much cheaper price than if you had purchased them all seperately. I know you believe in your heart that you will do this. Just as the guys who did DSJ and Agon thought. But if you put out that first game and it tanks, what motivation do you have to continuing it? You need the money to continue the series, but the majority of people won't buy it until the series is done. See the problem?
