    Depends what you define as “AAA”

    Baldurs Gate 3, for instance, has no nonsense, and every word out of the director’s mouth is “we made this decision because it’s what our developers wanted.” But while the dev team is “AAA” large, Larian doesn’t really fit the mould of Ubisoft, EA, Rockstar, Blizzard or whatever.

    I think we need a new designation for what are basically megacorp operations.

      I think they self-defined themselves as AAAA because infinite growth has infected their every thought so the number of As must go up too
