Open Valve On Episodic Content

There’s something about the news over on Gamespot (Link) of game developer Valve making their blockbuster title Half-Life 2 episodic that’s got ideas concerning convergence and distribution bouncing around in my head. As noted in the article, the concept isn’t new, it’s just taken on much greater significance. And so has their Steam online distribution system. I was going to post my first thought last night inversely relating this to recent ongoing changes in the film industry’s distribution system, but for some reason I’m thinking this is more important. Unfortunately, sleeping on it hasn’t helped, so I’ll just have to tuck it back away for now. I have a feeling this is going to wake up on its own.
