Derfor stoppede Ken Levine med at lave Bioshock-spil

Bioshock Infinite tog lang tid om at blive færdigt, og den ikoniske spildesigner Ken Levine besluttede sig efterfølgende om at dedikere sig selv til mindre projekter, der fortsat under 2K-banneret. Nu afslører han dog, via et nyt interview med Rolling Stone, at selve presset var ved at knuse ham.

"I saw a picture of me when we first announced it. That was 2010. And then I saw a picture of me after I did an interview on NPR when we shipped it in 2013. And I look 10 years older. It changed my life in terms of what it did to my health, and what it did to my view of making games, and my relationships with people."

Forventningerne til designeren var gået hen og blevet så store, at han følte at det eneste han kunne gøre var at stoppe:

"I think the natural expectation was that I would go and do the next bigger and better BioShock game. And I felt, 'I think I'll fail if I do that. I think I'll lose my mind, and my marriage.' And so my solution was to quit,"

2K har dog afsløret, at Bioshock-serien vil fortsætte uden Levine. Lige nu kan man investere i Bioshock: The Collection.
