No DLC included, but if you vote the Golden Joystick awards you get a coupon to buy Bioshock-Infinite for 1 Euro. I did it. It works and the game is as cool as it can be.

Irrational folded after the last DLC came out, so practically speaking yes.
However, Bioshock 2 wasn't made by them so 2K could always hand the keys to someone else. Who knows whether we'd get Deus Ex Human Revolution or Deus Ex Invisible War.

The Jedi Master I wonder what exactly caused them to close up shop? Everything that I've read concerning the commercial reception for Bioshock: Infinite was positive. It sold well for both PC and console.

Ken Levine shut it down. Really odd, actually.

Levine wants to make different games, smaller company.
"Im handing the reins of our creation, the BioShock universe, to 2K"
So it's up to 2k to do another Bioshock.
Not that it matters to me, watched the game play vids when it came out, not my type of game anymore.
I've noticed many people don't seem to want to play FPS games anymore. Or RTS games. Or flight sims. Or racing sims. Or strategy games. Or action games. In fact, I've noticed a lot of people don't want to play most games anymore. The Jedi Master

The first game was really good. Original setting you couldn't stop marveling at throughout the game, a great story, brilliant characters, retro style, really creepy without quite being horror. The second one tried to repeat it, bringing in another story that didn't seem to fit, so I didn't stay engaged and quit. The third was just kind of dull, brightly lit, not creepy at all to the point that I got to. I got bored and quit. Sometimes 1 game/movie is enough.

Infinite was creepy below the surface (to belabor a pun) even though it was bright and sunny. It was a facade that doesn't break down until you start the game, but the environment can't reflect that when you're above the clouds. If you were looking for an FPS specifically for that, I agree BI did not deliver. I think the mistake is in assuming that was its primary focus and it failed to achieve it--it just didn't intend to go there. While it tied in to the original story, it was not an extension or continuation, it went in a different direction in another world. Much like how lovers of Alien's horror were let down by the action scenes in Aliens, or the lovers of Aliens' action and humor were let down by the dismal fatalism of Alien 3. People who wanted "another one like the last one" were disappointed, but that doesn't mean each sequel was itself poor when evaluated on its own merits. The Jedi Master

Just for th records, I've actually started playing it and I love it. Well part o fit at least. Graphically the visual study is impressive. Gunplay dynamics are not the best I've found in FPS... Still it plays nicely. Worth a dollar!

It was a Beach Boys song.
There was a running thread of someone in Columbia using a rift to steal music from the future.
