    AAA gaming is doomed, it has been irreversibly tainted by capitalism and I don’t think it can recover. Indie games are where it’s at, typically higher quality and much cheaper. It’s shameful how terrible most AAA games are nowadays because they have to put in excuses for microtransactions. It’s depressing but I think we’re truly entering a golden age for indies and other smaller budget games.

      I’ve been playing the Hades 2 beta recently, and I keep thinking about how incredible it is that this game is already better than any AAA title I’ve played in the last like 8 years. And it’s still in beta and made by just 23 people. Call of Duty, FIFA and the like will keep the big studios running for a while, but indie has definitely overtaken the industry and I’m all for it.
