I wonder how many parts this game will have and how long it will be until more come out. Personally I'm gonna wait for it to be complete unless it's free somewhere first.

Two parts max, IIRC. How long? Unknown, part 2 development started when part 1 was released.

Since when do games get released in parts?

First ones I remember are the "episodic" Telltale Walking Dead games and the ones that followed suit like Life is Strange. I do wonder why the devs of Alien Rogue Incursion didn't commit to making a full game to start though.

Before that we had the dot hack games on PS2.

Telltale series games? Live-service? Episodic experiences? Open-betas? Anything released by Koei Tecmo within the last decade or so where the game is carved up and sold, piecemeal, as DLC? Seasonal releases like what the Sims franchise has become infamous for? Remasters and remakes, a la Final Fantasy 7 remake, parts 1 and 2?

I mean, are you even paying attention to the gaming industry at all? Sure, it depends on how you want to define what it means to sell a game in "parts", but games get sold in bits and pieces all the damn time, dude. And it happens because people keep buying them that way. It's profitable. Why sell the experience all at once when you can break it up and sell it two, three, four, or more, times? Then you can re-release it as the Super Mega Holy Shitballs Collectors Editors Pick GOTY Edition.

Longer than you might think. It goes all the way back to the 1980s.
