Remember episodic gaming? Former Telltale devs are bringing it back for the release of Dispatch, and there's a chance it might work this time | Eurogamer (www.eurogamer.net)

I guess that means I'll buy it when the full story is finished and all the episodes released? 🤷 I just don't have any interest in buying half a story.

Edit: okay, read the article. Kind of odd, in so far as they already have everything finished, but they're doling out the game in pieces. Maybe as a kind of marketing strategy?

I don't really get it, but at least they have the game done and are planning to release it at a reasonable price. 👍

Telltale games were just like that. Its episodes in that each section has an arc and usually a cliffhanger of an ending.

Its part marketing and part way to keep everyone interested and feeling like they get the story at the same time. Its meant to feel like TV where you had control of the story to some degree but it continues forward no matter what.
