I don't understand your argument for not deleting the article... I don't think it's about the site of origin, but about the content, otherwise when new NPD numbers come out we'd have them reposted 20 times for each site that interprets them...
Episodic: it's exactly these production values that I think take time and effort making them hard to make episodic without huge teams.[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 444 ]bids

Deleting the article isn't actually required - Its from GamesIndustry.biz. (I am a programmer). In this context Episodic Gaming is looking promising, because its going to be digitally distributed over Xbox Live. This is a real statement of intent from Microsoft's part, to deliver compelling content regularly over live. Asking for monthly releases at this stage in the cycle is overly optimistic, however this is going to pave the way for that to happen eventually.
I think that GTA have a good chance of pulling it off because of their fan base and production values, and particularly because Microsoft are putting themselves behind this effort.[ Speaker ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 334 ]bids

You should delete the article then (your submissions->articles).
I am still very skeptical about episodic gaming: it seems to me companies just use that name to say "we're going to make a sequel next year and possibly not a high budget one either"... the only one I've seen do it right is Sam & Max... the most horrible example for me is Hl2.
That being said though, should games change from the 'kill-all creatures' things that they unfortunately mostly are into more content/story oriented things I would soooooo love to see game series with a monthly release (weekly is just to good to be true)...[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 444 ]bids

Yes :( I noticed that after I submitted it. But I think that one thing I want to mention is it seems like GTA IV will be the poster boy for Episodic Gaming! I hope that this will usher in a new era of downloadable content as a buisiness model.[ Speaker ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 334 ]bids

Isn't this the same as the news posted a couple of news before it?[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 444 ]bids
