What's interesting to me is of course how cheaply Bioshock got made compared to today's blockbuster hits. Somewhere, we took the wrong turn in regards to modern game development, truly.

Too many managers to pay and as a result too high personel costs, I would assume. :<

Luckily Infinite is the worst game of the series and I have no problem discounting its lore.

People say that, though it's my favorite. And I am not alone.

I feel like the DLCs were much rougher, though.
