    To me Larian would be a AA studio.

    Ubisoft is a publisher, not a game dev studio. They publish games made by their child studios. They don’t produce games themselves.

    Ubisoft Paris Mobile, Ubisoft Ivory Tower, Ubisoft Nadeo, Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft Owlient, Ubisoft Da Nang, Ubisoft Paris, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Quebec, Ubisoft Annecy, Ubisoft Chengdu, Ubisoft San Francisco, Ubisoft Milan, Ubisoft Mumbai, Ubisoft Düsseldorf, Ubisoft Mainz, Ubisoft Bordeaux, Ubisoft Montpellier, Ubisoft Singapore, Ubisoft Saguenay, and Ubisoft Bucharest to name a few are Ubisoft and they produce and publish games.

      Yes, these are all their children studios. Ubisoft Entertainment (colloquially referred to as just Ubisoft), as an entity, is a video game publisher.

      Does that make all their children studios AAA? A lot of them don’t have massive employee numbers and their budget per game varies greatly lol.

        I’m not sure why you’re latching onto that part of the argument, the point he’s making is Larian is still relatively small and spends less on games then AAA studios.
