: I don't think that's accurate.

: It's not that one person said 'hey, we have to have looting or else it's not
: Bioshock', it's that one person did NOT say 'hey, what the fuck is looting
: doing in here? It makes no sense!'

The writer of the video is being diplomatic. He knows that Bioshock Infinite is a very popular game, especially with the crowd that watches Extra Credits. On top of that, he might know people at Irrational, or he might know speaking bad about them would hurt his intra-industry networkability or something. If he were to say "everyone at Irrational Games fucked up and not a single person had the courage or intelligence to realize things were dicey" that would be painting the whole studio negatively (correct though it may be), and that would be bad. But by pinning the fault on "one" person, he can avoid the wrath of his audience (since the studio isn't at fault, it's just that one bad apple) and the ire of any insiders (since everyone can tell themselves "that's not ME he's talking about").

This is also why he spent a good amount of time tempering his criticism of the game with high praise.
