D':

Didnt Bioshock Infinite sold well ?And with a DLC on the way? Strange.

In before Ken Levine makes only mobile games from here on. :3

I can't complain; hopefully it means Levine will draw a line under the series and try something new. I wanna see what the man can do outside of Bioshock.

And then 2K might start commissioning spinoffs. Hrm...

what the fuck

It will be a great day to see 2k titles and all of Irrational's titles on GOG's shelves.

Ah, yes. The studio that only produced seven games in all its life?

I realize that 3 of those smashed it right out of the park, but there's a reason why I had to look them up.

And how many from Blizzard?

Irrational was born out of the ashes of Looking Glass Studios, who incidentally created the Thief and System Shock franchises. So yeah, contenders for the "best gaming house ever" stakes.

"Born out of the ashes" isn't accurate. The two studios co-existed for a while in the late 90s and collaborated on System Shock 2.

This is not rational.

Flappy Bioshock??? :P

Well those of us over at TTLG saw Bioshock as the phoenix-like rebirth of System Shock, and as a continuation of the LGS bloodline. Sorry if my phraseology is a problem.

Candy Shock Saga
Angry Birds Bioshock ed.
Majong-Shock


On a serious note...this is sad news, both for fans of their games and those who work for the company. I hope those who were let go find work soon. :(

Does anyone have them numbers on them Bioshock's? I mean, I always assumed that they were selling well and making a profit. But if even Irrational can't keep up then it could be a good indication (some might say obvious) that the current AAA model is a dying business.
