AAA used to be about creating fun games. The Super Mario and Mario Kart games, for instance, are AAA games.
It just happens to be that you can create a lot of complex and fun games today without pushing the edge of technology. That wasn’t always the case.
I feel like that with a lot of gaming, though. It feels like a lot of the industry has progressed where AAA gaming isn’t worth it while A and AA games are just as, if not more, entertaining.
It feels more like Nintendo is building the engine for the next decade, but I’m still happy with last decade’s engine.
If an indie studio can produce this, why not create a AA CRPG? Do you really need the third A?
