I believe a few ex-Bioware devs worked there, including John Dombrow. Pretty terrible news.

I feel bad for those who were working on Irrational Games, they develop one of the most acclaimed games in recent memory and are rewarded with a pink slip.

So, the guy just disbanded the studio because? 

Or is there more to it?

[ElitePinecone]

The publisher would've had to agree to shut it down, you'd have to think, so it's not like it was all Ken Levine's fault. Presumably if Take-Two had really wanted to keep them on, they could have appointed a new person to run the studio.

It's a really strange and sad situation though. A hundred or two hundred developers now out of a job.

[JeffZero]

That is awful.

Did you guys see what Arynn Flynn tweeted out on the 16th? He said that they will be releasing info over the next few weeks! How is no one hyped for this?

[Eamon696]

I believe he was referring to DA: I.

He was referring to some dev diaries that they're making for Dragon Age. 

No info on Mass Effect yet, unfortunately.

It's like, I get it, small houses are hot prospects right now. But a man of his worth could probably have opened something humble separately instead of sending hundreds of proven individuals to the unemployment line in a fierce industry.

SR1? Reboot confirmed... Or... *shudders* Prequel?

EDIT: Maybe I should start adding a sarcastic meter to my posts based on the following two replies beneath mine.

I really think that's just the lunchroom at BioWare Edmonton and nothing more.

Or you know, they could just be decals on the lunchroom doors.

We can't keep industries open for the sole purpose of giving people jobs.

That's exactly the sort of thing I thought you'd say

There's no reason to suggest that the devs haven't known about this for a while, and that with Levine wanting to go indie it was 2K that pulled the plug. But yeah, game development is a transient employment experience and if there isn't anything in the pipeline you don't keep 300 people on the payroll.

[Nitrocuban]

Dunno but maybe sales for BSI and its DLCs didn't look good?
Sad thing on the one hand, but on the other hand selling a DLC in two parts at the price of the full games is at least questionable.

wut

Bioshock Infinite original retail price: $60
Burial at Sea Episode 1 price: $15
Burial at Sea Episode 2 price: $15

15+15=30
30<60

Or alternatively you could buy the season pass: $20
20<30<60

Also, what's wrong with episodic content?

So, is this thread about Mass Effect+Twitter or Irrational Games+Bioshock?

hint: it's the first one

Sorry to all Mass Effect fans, but we need to halt production for a few hours in order to watch USA vs Canada in Sochi.

[rallyfan]

^ It's over now. Congrats on your win. Now get back to making Mass Effect!

Didn't they say they would give us a few details at E3?

I think that was rumor. However, it doen't sound outside the realm of possibility. I wouldn't expect anthing big though, just a teaser and maybe some (Very Minor) story details. God, I hope it's not a prequel.
