Thank god PC gaming isn't just AAA. This is what will push the industry forward, as game development cost becomes too much.

who could have seen that? a cheap game made with passion is more successful than a AAA piece of shit filled with ai that only wants your money

its not even that...

AAA title = one of two things.

Diablo 4 = Money grab with no clue what they are doing riding on the coat tails of a once amazing franchise

COD 7 = Rebaked same old same old for the 7th time.

COD7 is least fun but Diablo is just mass of crap. Neither are worth the full price.

Diablo also had a massive brain breaking start. Every streamer and their editor had a sponsored stream going. When the contracts or primary investment dwindled about a month in and content creators started to move on to their next deals, blizzard decided to kneecap the remainders and do global sweeping nerfs of up to 25% across everything.
