People Make Games, Not Development Studios

Eh, I don't think changing the design process or attaching a name is going to help AAA at this point.
Indies, yes. But indie titles routinely feature dev-teams I can count on one hand, so it's not really critical to stamp one of their names onto the title or bibliography entry.

In just angry that Ken Levine left the Bioshock IP with 2K. They're going to totally fuck it up.

That's assuming that they even touch it. The guys in charge full well know that the name alone won't keep the franchise alive. We all saw how much bile got thrown on Infinite when Levine WAS at the helm (still got good ratings, but there was a LOT of doubt and debate). One bad game in the franchise and it gets tainted for a LONG time, and the executives know this.

My thoughts on this: Expect a new Bioshock from 2K within 3 years, and expect the team they get to pull a Halo 4 (at best).

Wow. I've never thought about this. Maybe I'll start paying attention to the creative leads (closes to director?) more.
