Shawn Layden: "AA is gone and that's a threat to the ecosystem going forward"

Completely agree. Not everything needs a 100+ million budget and we need more variety.

[Mr. Impossible 607]

I said this the other day. This is where MS fucked up. Everything is either indy or 100 million dollars. The midrange game is done and it's sad because plenty of lower budgeted games are could be much bigger hits with a bit of an increase the production and promotion.

My point is they could turn hundreds of AA games into AAA games for far less than buying one of the largest publishers in the world. I also don't believe MS made that purchase to elevate the Xbox brand as a console.

Xbox has been the bargain bin of trash games for a decade, even fanboying aside 

 

With the biggest budget as well.

Id much rather MS games over Sonys. Not a hard choice anyway, since Sony doesnt make games.

Yeah, the indie scene has become the old AA scene and tbh quality wise it is a gigantic jump than some of the A/AA trash there was on psone/ps2 era

Indies are keeping Metroidvanias alive. There are so many amazing games in the genre.

Baldurs Gate 3 saved gaming.

So even when Sony doesn't make and doesn't have games it still has more games than Xbox.
