A new Steam Update (thanks Frans) on Half-Life 2: Episode One discusses the add-on's plot and describes Valve's frustration at Half-Life 2's six-year development cycle as one reason for the move to episodic content. The update includes a thumbnail with a broken link to this screenshot and a broken link to the recent Robin Walker Q&A on Computer and Video Games.

now they have a chance to change that and people criticise?

I believe the general criticism here - at least from me - is that people are being fleeced by releasing 'episodes' at a disproportionately high price compared to their actual content. As someone who buys games (i.e. plural and general case), it annoys me when a company adopts this type of strategy, because if it works the consequence is usually other companies adopting it, and everything gets more expensive.
