For a few more lousy dollars (I know it comes out to be hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions) you are willing to risk your professional rep (one that is already tarnished because of the long product cycle) and your customer base who have been sticking by your side through years and years of delays and who defend your product vigoursly on every FPS shooter forum ... no that doesn't make any sense. What makes sense is getting your products out in a reasonable time frame and then expanding your portfolio of IP and coming up with another title to wow your fans ... see Epic for an example Valve (even if I personally don't like Gears that much).

I don't care how much it costs give me a full gaming experience or forget about finding a home on my HD.

The only reason for them is for the developer to make more money. They don't enhance gameplay or do anything for the consumer. Episode 1 was fun but is essentially re-used content from HL2 - hardly anything original in there. I saw Episode 1 in a GAME store (UK) yesterday retailing at £20! That is $40! For one episode! How can anyone pay that much for one map!? I am not impressed with Valve at all these days. Not only are they skimping by releasing Episodes instead of making a new and original game, but they becoming more and more obsessed with publishing rather than developing games. The Steam client is now a full on sales service to buy hundreds of 3rd party games. It is, in my opinion, an ad-ware service. I for one am not a fan of Episodes.
