Yes. Most AAA stuff now is just copy and paste because games cost so much to make and so they want a guaranteed return on their investment.

But I think consumers are getting tired of that now, as Ubisoft's declining sales seem to be demonstrating.

I swear it's only expensive because of the CEO taking most of it, and the rest being spent on ads and other trash like that. Basically propping up their friends

I'd be shocked if they spend close to 50% on the actual game design/function

You're also hitting issues with asset creation. You need a larger team to create assets for AAA games than an indie game.
