System Shock 2's performance didn't give publishers much confidence

He’s talking about System Shock, which wasn’t that immensely popular.

I didn’t even realize the remake was already out. lol

He’s specifically talking about the original. Bioshock was unlikely to get made with its budget due to how niche System Shock is. It’s impressive they managed to make Bioshock a big success.

The original is form 94. No game at the time was really popular because computers were purely for nerds and weirdos. It was a super stigmatized niche at the time, especially video games.

Oh yeah that wasn’t very much even though it was so fucking good. I’ve been hearing rumors for years that they were going to bring that back and I think with BioShock success it should happen!
