Yeah, but that’s my problem with the entire conversation in the first place. If you define “AAA” fully tautologically as “soulless game that feels corporate and is kinda shitty” then sure, AAA has a major issue, in that it seems to be consistently soulless and kinda shitty.

But if the definition is somewhat reasonable, either as a major production in terms of budget and scope, or even as a production from a major studio then all of a sudden AAA games are way more diverse and way more interesting than these types of posts give them credit for.
