Anikó asks for light… 😉

The 1997 founded company, was made prominent by its first title: System Shock 2 and much later the Bioshock series, was all-but-closed earlier this year by its founder Ken Levine, who “shifted the company’s focus” and lay off ”all but fifteen” members of its team. A statement released by Levine at the time read as follows:

”“While I’m deeply proud of what we’ve accomplished together, my passion has turned to making a different kind of game than we’ve done before. To meet the challenge ahead, I need to refocus my energy on a smaller team with a flatter structure and a more direct relationship with gamers. In many ways, it will be a return to how we started: a small team making games for the core gaming audience.”

Anikó, our news editor and communication manager, is more interested in the business side of the gaming industry. She worked at banks, and she has a vast knowledge of business life. Still, she likes puzzle and story-oriented games, like Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments, which is her favourite title. She also played The Sims 3, but after accidentally killing a whole sim family, swore not to play it again. (For our office address, email and phone number check out our IMPRESSUM)
