The first BioShock, which was made by Irrational, was single-player only. The second game, which was not from Irrational did.

Is the job listing a sign that BioShock Infinite is getting multiplayer?

“I will say that we experiment with things, but for us we are never interested in making a multiplayer mode you could just play in some other game. Because, A) that’s not creatively interesting and B), financially, you’re wasting your time. They’re going to go play Halo. They’re going to go play Call of Duty

“If we do something new – if we do something like Left 4 Dead that has something new to say – people will come to your game. If you don’t, don’t waste your time.”
