AI Summary

Jordan Thomas, director of BioShock 2, spent more than 7,000 hours playing the action‑RPG Path of Exile while developing the co‑op horror title The Blackout Club, saying he felt “essentially awake all the time” during that period. In a “Disk Cleanup” interview, Thomas recalls growing up in the shareware era, receiving free demos from his father and first becoming hooked on the early PC platformer Commander Keen. He describes that experience as a gateway that led him to darker games such as Wolfenstein and Quake, shaping his long‑term focus on immersive, atmospheric titles.
