Yahoo.

Someone needs to fix this comment system. Comments disappear left and right and take forever to show up when you post 'em.

so, the guy makes one good game and now he's hot sh*t? I know he created the first game in the series and all, but I don't know that he should get money for a game that's apparently being made by a whole different studio. Shouldn't it rather be going to the people actually WORKING on the game?

Games don't just spring forth from the collective hands of artists, musicians, and coders - they require a guiding light and a centralized idea. That's where game designers come into play, and that's why he would (should?) get royalties.

And he didn't just work on BioShock. He's worked on a good number of excellent titles, including Tribes, System Shock 2, and Thief.

Damn, he did Tribes too? I loved that game. We need more games with disc-guns (but not in the form of Aerosmith games, for any sarcastic repliers).

i'm not saying he shouldn't get credit for creating bioshock, he did and it was a great game, and if he wants to try to get a better deal off it that's fine. but the sequels? The second that game was handed off the other studio on the other side of the country, it then ceased to be his. It's not his idea anymore, it's somebody else's at 2K Marin. It's not right that he get the fruit of someone else's labor.

The reason behind BioShock's ambiguous exclusivity suddenly becomes crystal clear.
