Is SiN Episodes already done? After making what seemed like a minor splash on the Steam platform with its first episode, the Games For Windows magazine crew sounds down on the future of Ritual Entertainment's episodic title, SiN Episodes, on their weekly podcast.

After congratulting the Sam & Max team on actually publishing their second episode, the editors start rappin' 'bout episodic gaming.

Jeff: Sin Episode 2...

Shawn: ...is likely not happening now. A lot of the people from the dev team have left.

Jeff: At Ritual?

Shawn: Yeah, they've gone elsewhere. They now work for other people. Some of the key people. One of the lead programmers. That's not a good sign.

Jeff: That seems like a real world thing that's going to be constantly a problem with any episodic game. How can you possibly ensure to fans or gamers that there are going to be future episodes? At any given point the team might dissolve.

Shawn: And the jury's out on why that's happening, I've personally been trying to contact the head there, Tom Mustaine, and haven't been able to get too much information. What it seems to imply, obviously, is that Sin Episode 1 didn't do well.
