Nothing against Glen, Dead Space, or any genuinely well made game... but the AAA industry needs to die.

Edit: The number of you misinterpreting this as "AAA games bad" is too damn high.

I disagree. When AAA is approached with a solid ending, no monetization beyond a full expansion for less than retail, and good story, I can enjoy them just fine.

See: God of War, Death Stranding, Horizon (not the racing), the Jedi: Survivor series, Persona, Dead Space, Cyberpunk, etc.

AAA can be done right.

Cyberpunk

Releasing a broken beta version for full retail price is not "AAA done right".

That's my biggest gripe. Games being released in an unfinished state. I'd rather them be honest, call it an early release and charge accordingly.

My second biggest gripe rides off the back of the first... how the people who make and play games are exploited.

  • Devs getting worked to death and thrown under the bus for executive decisions.

  • Gamers' loyalty being taken advantage of including the declining value of Pre-orders.
