Whatever happened to this game?
 

What happened to Aftermath? First it was going to be out in stores come October 2005... and then... I never saw it in stores, lol. STEAM only? Is it worth buying on steam? I would MUCH rather have a retail version. Can someone fill me in on what happened and why?

2009?!? Are you serious??? I read in a gaming magazine that a new Half Life 2 expantion was going to be released every three months after The Aftermath! Does this have anything to do with EA taking over Valve?

I heard that it's going to be released 1st-2nd quarter of 2006. Actually I think it was said in interview. Can't find it though..

Also, this game has a name change. Renamed from Aftermath to Episode 1. Crappy name thought if you ask me, i like Aftermath more.

They changed it to episode one because there are going to be more of them, episode 2, 3 etc. released every 3-4 months

The guys at Valve aint good at keeping their release days.

Maybe, but i'd rather it was good and late than crap and early.
