I really hope it isn't episodic. There's nothing wrong with a big game that retails at a higher price. I know it's not an indie game, but look at the RRP and size of a game like Skyrim. I would happily pay something like £25-£30 for a game such as Exoddus as long as it is playable on a wide range of machines. The fact that NnT lags to the point of unplayability was a real upset to me, especially considering how much I supported the game, the development, company and franchise. If the game is well polished then I don't have a problem paying more for one full game.
Skyrim was priced at 70€ on PS4 and it was accepted as being a reasonable price for a new mainstream game published by an established publisher. NnT was priced at 25€ on PS4 at launch and people were complaining it was way too much for an idie game (even on this forum).

Lorne is estimating that AE's remake is going to require twice the work that was put in NnT. I'll let you do the math and come to your own conclusions on why they might have a problem.

Yeah I've never been a fan of episodic games as well. I hate the idea waiting for the next part of the game to be released.

I like to buy a game, have the whole thing and just play it.
I fully agree with you, I rather have my games in one big chunk as well. On the other hand I like to buy DLC in order to extend the experience. I never played games by episodes so I don't really know how to feel about them.
