    I get everyone’s sentiment here, boiling it down to “better games are better” but also keep in mind the development costs and times for making new games are constantly going up. Yeah of course there are fantastic indie games out there (and I love them myself) that have a fraction of AAA game budgets and dev time but those are the gems in the rough, not the norm.

    I’m all for better gaming experiences but they do come with tradeoffs. Also, flops are now death sentences for studios so the pressure to perform is even higher

        Snark hahaha but he’s right. “EA shits the bed” and “there are a ton of trash indies for every good one” are not mutually incompatible. In fact they’re barely related. So go off but frankly you just sound ignorant about the industry IMO.
