Is it about popularity? The publisher of the game? Or maybe the quality?

    Indie games don’t have shareholders demanding extra-short term profits to please, they can afford to innovate. An AAA game needs to pay the shareholders as fast as possible, and how to do it? Well, the way they do it now; take your cod, or fifa, or whatever AAA ip you want and you’ll see how the patterns repeat in all of them.

    AAA games are the fast food of videogaming.

      yep. that’s certainly part of it. But also look at Starfield. 25 years in the making and… I regretted that buy so hard. There were lots of just stupid oversights (Like shipbuilding ladders/hatches being random. Could they not create a mid-module part that creates the hatches? like equipment plates?)
