We are combining the
concepts of episodic content, crowdfunding, and community created content to provide a special opportunity for our games.
At any rate, it holds several patents — including one it says for «the uploading and
distribution of episodic content» — and its business revolves around collecting royalties for these patents.
On the other hand, considering how that content is delivered, both in terms of Steam and the

We also cover the breaking news of a potential price cut for the PS3, Microsofts exclusive
buyout of episodic content for GTA IV, and Sega doubting the Wii.

promise of episodic content - but so far, the quality has been a little variable.
The
idea of episodic content is not a brand new thing for video games, but the level of integration we have with spartan ops in terms of connection to the campaign's story and multiplayer modes, is something that I don't think anyone has ever tried before.
