He’s specifically talking about the original. Bioshock was unlikely to get made with its budget due to how niche System Shock is. It’s impressive they managed to make Bioshock a big success.
The original is form 94. No game at the time was really popular because computers were purely for nerds and weirdos. It was a super stigmatized niche at the time, especially video games.
