Yeah, especially with today’s political climate. If the other BioShock games came out today they would be labeled anti-american and woke.
Comment on Next BioShock Game Suffers From More Development Hell After Failing an Executive Review

The game’s narrative was identified as an area that was particularly in need of improvement and will be revamped in the coming months
I really don’t trust executives to be the arbiters of what is considered good narrative. I hope they didn’t just kneecap the writing because it wouldn’t appeal to as many people as possible.

To be fair, they are largely anti-american and woke, but in a good way. Woke is good, and America has some fucking issues. If you’re choosing to be not woke or actively pro-america, then you might be doing something wrong.

It’s TakeTwo - you know they did. Bioshock was a complete arc and died with Irrational. Whatever this zombie project is, I expect it won’t live up to the name, but they’ll slap it on anyway because goshdarnit executives just can’t help milking a franchise dry instead of innovating.

I didn’t even like the Bioshock Infinite DLCs. I thought it ended perfectly with the original Infinite ending.
Long video, but B4Brandoss articulated why much better than I could.

Not saying you're wrong but I do feel like there's still so much of the universe to explore, even if the main arc is complete. I would love to learn more about Rapture

With the right team willing to take risks, I agree. There’s still so much it could explore. I doubt this is that though.
