My antenna also goes up when I hear "free food" or "cheap women". Other than the antenna thing, I couldn't make heads nor tails of what you wrote.
If episodic hasn't caught on in ten years, it's not going to catch on now, or ever. But really, the "industry" is so miniscule that it doesn't matter what you call it. I don't know of many twenty-somethings who will put down their mobile devices or walk away from their consoles to do "something old guys did 30 years ago before there was the internet", whether you call it PBM (like Rick Loomis does) or turn-based (like Steve Tierney does) or episodic strategy (like you do). I pretty much had my fill of it by 1984, with a couple of brief relapses.
By the way, episodicstrategygames.com is available. If you're serious about branding, why haven't you registered that domain? I hope that no evil person registers it and redirects it to pbm.com.

Too late.
