I remember growing up playing Nintendo games up and other AAA games until I started watching YT. Particular TB and adjacent YouTubers.

Now-a-days, especially watching most of Summer Games Fest, I feel like I really am not excited about AAA games as I used to be and generally prefer indie games

Think it’s a combination of time, DLC, gamba bs, same game released 7 thousand times and broken games at launch that have mostly turned me away from AAA games. Nintendo, Ubisoft, Blizzard, SquareEnix and others, have further tainted the appreciation I once had for these companies with the level of abuse to their fanbases and even their own employees.

How you all feel about AAA vs Indie games? Which do you prefer, and has this changed for you over time?

    I’ll occasionally play an AAA game if it’s on sale, but usually I stick with indies. Indie games have the best stories, most unique art styles, and know how to make things challenging but fair.
