Sometime in the past 15 years or so AAA became even more business and shareholder beholden.
Fuck off with this.
It’s a lazy excuse to accept worse overall quality in a medium that desperately needs life breathed into it again from AAA studios. My nostalgia days were from the N64 but even those giants of AAA games were worse than what came after objectively. If AAA studios had fractions of the artistic integrity they had before, they’d be stomping indie games into obscurity. The only reason why indies are given a seat at the table is because AAA has priced out many and diluted what was once a rich hobby.
it’s not even about “worse” it’s that we’ve always been more impressed by stylish graphics than high fidelity graphics. probably the most frustrating franchise to have forgotten this lessons is borderlands
Games should be shorter and look worse, tbh
