Lens Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Based on what I discovered, the AAA game development is becoming gradually unsustainable and this is because of the rising costs. The Development costs are really skyrocketing and also, the expectations from the ganers are also extremely high as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 The industry is really facing crisis right now. I also see the AAA model limiting innovation for the smaller games. Additionally ,the AAA model is restrictive, which is a major setback and as a result of this, innovation is stifled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, the rise of indie games is really giving room for creativity and innovation. I see indie games as the future because it offer a different path for gamers and developers too.

killamch89 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 The problem with AAA game studios is that they want to charge premium prices for a mostly subpar experience filled with all kinds of paywalls and lootboxes which is really hurting their sales.
