Is it about popularity? The publisher of the game? Or maybe the quality?

    eh. I wouldn’t say that. Sure there’s some awful games. But by proportion, there’s only a few AAA titles each year, and the vast majority of them are at best meh. The plot is trite, the mechanics pro forma.

    The real creativity is in the indie world. if you consider it by dollars, indie games tend to win out. (lets exclude all the cheap mobile games that… basically are there to sucker you into micro transactions…)

      18k games released on Steam this year. How many were AAA? How many have you heard about? Yes there’s creativity in the indie world, there’s a lot of very creative shit as well.
