Not only has the first episodic content, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, been delayed, but now Ritual are delaying the first SiN episode to sometimes in May. It sounds like there could be a problem with episodic content delivery through Steam since both have been delayed at around the same time.

Trying to fend off fans, Ritual’s QA manager Michael Russell took to the message boards, claiming “there is actually a very good reason for the game being released in May. However, it’s not my place to say what that reason is.” What that reason could possibly be other than technical issues, though, remains unclear.
