Valve Bans BioShock From Their Offices

When you work for a company that creates fantastic FPS games, do you think it’s possible to ignore the other great FPS games on the market? Hardly. You might be surprised though, to hear that Valve has banned BioShock from their offices, but not for the reasons you might think. In an attempt to get the team to focus primarily on HL2: Episode 2, Gabe Newell states that no one can play the game until theirs is finished. Hah! Is this a game we are talking about, or vegetables?

Newell said he hasn’t played it either, but he’s “really looking forward to it”. We’re torn about this news. On one hand, we’re sad for the Valve employees, but on the other hand, we really want to play Episode 2. And then, on our third hand, we think they probably should have thought of this game-banning policy before they announced they were making games episodically.
