Irrational Games are "winding down"; all but 15 staff laid off [edit: Gamasutra - Bioshock Infinite didn't sell enough]

I guess Bioshock Infinite flopped, 5 years in development for barely 3m in sales. Infinite was fantastic, screw people for not buying it.

I love the bio shock series, unfortunately I never got a chance to get infinite. There's just not enough time for all the great games that came out this gen.... Sometimes, sacrifices must be made.... Maybe I'll pick it up.... Now I feel kind of bad for not getting it, I like to support the companies that produce the good games, especially if they are closing shop for this game not selling enough.... If i do get it, which version was best? PS3 or 360, I have both. Hopefully the series can live on.....

It wasn´t very good. Very, very pretty, story was decent.....but the gameplay was utter shit.

Lowest common denominator level of just another AAA linear setpiece shooter

I've heard this both ways, some love it, some say meh, it makes it tough to buy a game like that when it is mixed like that! Lol,oh well, they're done anyway, so I'll buy it used for $10, so if it is like you say, I'll still have only spent $10! Lol
