Are Gamers Ready to Embrace Episodic Gaming? (This Is My Joystick)

It is no secret that life would be much easier for the gaming industry if we all just handed over our bank details and downloaded games directly from the game publishers. They can dictate the prices whilst also destroying their arch enemies: The evil rental and used games market.

Although broadband speeds are improving, we are not quite ready for downloading games that are 30GB plus in size just yet, but maybe developers and marketing companies have come up with their own silver bullet, with the words “episodic gaming” written on the side to destroy their enemies once and for all.

I am down. If u dont like it, u r done. Also, u know just what u r getting for ur money. Also, u know the next installment will be story related and not some cheap dlc thats tacked on afterwards.

Not at all . All i've from games doing it , even good ones , are the publishers cutting and dividing what's scarcely available , rather than proposing something filling you , then building another ep on top of that .

basically they create a 15 hours games and chop it up by segment of 3-4 hours . No thanks
