The video game industry. (Indie games are on fire lately, though.)

AA is where it’s at now. There’s still insanely good games coming out, there just not by companies like EA and Activision anymore.

In some ways I think the good development studios are the same size they’ve always been, it’s just that a new class of mainstream games has risen to profit on the masses. If you ignore those, it’s not so bad

A lot of AA studios have been cramming in a ton of microtransactions still, whereas indie is mostly devoid of it, but it definitely gets a lot better the more A’s you remove.
