Oh god, it really is.
Re revelations will supposedly be 6 episodes released within "a few" months
Great. Now game companies besides taletale are deciding when we get the complete story. IF the first episode even sells well enough for the suits to justify releasing it. Jesus christ. Its like a corperate version of a curfiew. "Sorry lil timmy, no more new storys/gameplay for another month if the world proves they like it. "
What happened to games having to be worthy of US?
Now WE have to prove worthy of the game! (Early access to test demand for product, season passes, Extreme push for dlc, day one dlc, day one goddamn patches. And now "episodic content" to test the demand for a product.)
I dont buy/watch ANY sequel/prequel/reboot/reimagining, unless something DRASTIC happens, like oblivion and skyrim, or the dragon ages. And i was interested in this.
Yes the "episodes" might be fantastic, it might even leave you satisfied. But you still dont have the whole story. You have to wait for the rest of the story. We are grown adults, i dont wait for Nuthin! And the success of netflix and otherstreaming services prove that we hate waiting to watch our media. I.e. (supposedly bad) "binge watching" a series rates skyrocketing. Internet ads being blocked. Cable tv ads being skipped, etc.
