SiN Episodes canned?
Over at Kotaku is a transcript from the latest Games For Windows magazine podcast in which is stated that SiN Episodes probably won't be continued thanks to the fact that several key players at Ritual have jumped ship
No official word yet but we'll probably hear something pretty soon
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.

It ain't true, there was some major re-organisation at Ritual but they also hired some new people (apparently all planned?) and said in an official statement that every active project will be finished and some new projects are on their way.
