It was, devs just realized they don’t have to break the content up into episodes or actually complete the first part they release, and can call it early access instead.

The real problem is that you can’t create content fast enough to reach the cadence that you’d want with episodic content. Even a lot of TV shows have shifted away from predictable scheduling since Valve tried this experiment (and TV, largely, got better since then too).
