Release dates were pulled from Wikipedia, and where available, I chose the Steam/PC release date.
My stats are very rough calculations.
In my opinion, there should never be ANY wait whatsoever for episodic games. If you're going to make it episodic, then make it like Alan Wake where all the episodes are released at once. Or make it like Netflix where an entire season is released at the same time.
If there is going to be a wait for episodes, the most it should be is a 1-month wait per episode. And the analysis below shows that often, the wait is more than 1 month per episode, which is not cool with me.
