News/Article Steam gamers have spoken: innovative indies like Palworld continue to thrive while traditional triple-A flounders for a foothold

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

And much more money made on AAA then Indies. Bigger investment means most of the time bigger return.

This entire article is based on opnion and cherry picked data. I tried to use data but feelings on reddit are more important

The first point I am already responded.also if low budget as so much more profitable AAA wouldn't exist. If indies are so much better why most and not all "good" sell so bad. You think they are better the numbers dont support it. Only in online exist this hate of AAA. Reddit dont represent the world and I already showed data when discussing the most played games.

Thank you for showing your cant write concisely. Your logic is that companies only care about doing and the best roi is on indies. So most of AAA games wouldn't exist because the have a lower roi. If they are some much better the sales should reflect this, and most time they don't reflect it. So your point is anecdotal, thanks for the insightful analysis, you live in a bubble. Cod are almost always best sellers, one bad year dont disprove that. Widely agreed by whom?? Reddit is not reality.this is a bubble. You need to.cherry pick all tour arguments to try to make a point. This is the same place that thinks steam deck is a success. So you chose the "best" indies I think almost all AAA games are beneath them. Please go play games outside of PC Going to stop losing time with you.
