Comment on What makes a video game triple A (AAA)?
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoKind of a survival bias going on here. There are tons of indie games coming out that suck way more than most AAA games, the Hades and Tunic of this world are a very small minority.

eh. I wouldn’t say that. Sure there’s some awful games. But by proportion, there’s only a few AAA titles each year, and the vast majority of them are at best meh. The plot is trite, the mechanics pro forma.
The real creativity is in the indie world. if you consider it by dollars, indie games tend to win out. (lets exclude all the cheap mobile games that… basically are there to sucker you into micro transactions…)

18k games released on Steam this year. How many were AAA? How many have you heard about?
