dustyDataThe games industry sucks
It's impossible to get people to stop buying AAA games, but please stop buying AAA games.
PyrWhat defines AAA?
Like, is baldurs gate AAA?
Or just anything from EA, Ubisoft, etc.?
H_InterlinkedLarian is an unusual case. It's indie but it's huge. They aren't funded by or marketing through a bigger publishing company so IMO that's still indie. But they're hundreds of people so not really small, and BG3 can by all means be considered a AAA game because the difference in quality and scale is indistinguishable from AAA published games.
