This is a partial transcript (provided by Evan Dickens over at Adventure Gamers) of what Ross Erickson said. I don't know if this would make people happy or not (and there are no firm plans for it either, just ideas).

"I'm actually a proponent of this. I personally am inspired by the Sam & Max episodic delivery of this content and I've been internally pushing the agenda of going back and rebuilding some of these older franchises, Gabriel Knight, Space Quest, Police Quest...and figuring out a way to bring them up to date. I don't know if the old point & click adventure mechanic of pixel hunts, find object, use in arbitrary way, keep going--I think we need to figure out a new way to reinvent the adventure game mechanic, but adding a little bit of an action-y console element to it....that's the biggest question, is what to do with these properties. Look at it from the low-end, a simple Flash port, which is super cheap, but how do you monetize the investment?--all the way to a full-blown, giant, retail extravaganza--and what are the risks and benefits of doing something episodic?...it's just kinda looking ahead after we complete this merger as to where we go from here."
