    Something I have never heard of was meant to change the industry? Sus. I have over 1100 games, games are what I pay attention to. I suspect this title is over hyping something.

      Maybe I missed the sarcasm, but this was back in the mid 2000s when Valve was planning to switch to an episodic model. As we can see (from both Half-Life and SiN), that approach didn’t really work (at least in an industry-wide way).
