    “the worlds first AAAA game.”

    Wow. I’ve never heard anyone use “AAA” as a measure of value before. Maybe as a stand-in for “polish,” but that hasn’t even been true in ages; and even still, polish makes a game more pleasant, but you have to have a good game first.

    just stupid.

    No kidding. He really thought he had something there, didn’t he? Probably thought it up in the shower and everything.

      It was originally basically a shorthand for budget. A list actors, A list director, a list studio = a AAA movie. I think? All of those things cost money, so…

      I don’t think he was aware of that, to be clear, because even if he was it’s still an idiotic response. The game doesn’t show that it had that kind of budget at all.

        And nobody uses it for that in the gaming industry these days anyway. It’s just “AAA = Big studio.” Or honestly at this point “big marketing budget.”
