The only games I played by looking glass was thief and flight unlimited 3.
That's right, I never played systemshock.
LGS' only innovation is the "immersive sim" genre. There are developers which are responsible for much wider innovation.
any developer that's still alive
Looking glass always did everythig the studio could with its projects. They made risks no orher developers do.

>Implying Ultima Underworld, System Shock and Thief didn't single-handedly change their respective genres and video games in general forever
fuck no

flight sim =/= immersive sim
Pathologic and The Void are fantastic but they don't really compare to games like Ultima Underworld and Thief in terms of influence, do they?
That's just your opinion and as far as I know LGS games simulate jackshit.

Don't get too obsessed over the words. "Immersive sim" refers to a certain type of game.
