More Irrational Games Limited Editon Items

[Stevo]

I've just found out they are closing down Irrational Games. No more Bioshock. I am absolutely gutted


Thankfully I've read some more and it seems the Bioshock will survive. Just with no Ken

Yeah, Ken gives BioShock to 2K if I understood it correctly

Sucks... did not hear that. Strange as the game must have made a boat load of money... must be Kens decision to leave and not 2Ks.

2K has always owned the IP of Bioshock. This is why Irrational did not make the second one.

I got a bottle. I'm happy the production run is smaller this time. I'm bummed about Irrational, but hopeful that Ken can be more creative outside of AAA development.
This is probably the end of the road for Bioshock collecting for me though.

Limited to 250. This will be the rarest vigor yet. It also doesn't hurt that it's quite the sculpture too. Beautiful piece.

I was just looking and i really like the bronze pin set... pretty nice.

Yeah they do a god job on those. The MoC I looked at was really nice and from what you guys say the rest are on par.

Sad part is you would spend a mint to collect all of them (especially signed)... you would need to have MortalMonday type money

I got a bootleg MOC from Singapore...

lol. Don't drink the liquid inside that one. Doubt it's water like the real one

Irrational, no more. RIP

Wow. This is sad news. The folks at Irrational have a lot of talent, so hopefully all of them end up on their feet somewhere soon and without any significant impact on their families.

It's also going to be interesting to see where 2K takes the franchise. I'm certain there will be another game, there is no way they'll let a property like this languish -- too much money to be made.

Also, I guess this answers my other question. I doubt we'll be seeing the remaining vigors being produced in the future. Too bad. Shock Jockey, Return to Sender, and Bucking Bronco could have been really, really awesome.
