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?

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