They're not soulless game farms churning out shit for the large non-gamer audience of video games. Indie is like an Oregan alehouse; AAA is like a Vegas game bar.

I'm hoping Baldur's Gate 4 has a battle royale mode with different skins you can buy, and crossovers with Star Wars, Monster Energy, and Nike. And a Season Pass you can buy monthly for early access to each seasons cool new crossover!

Because the decision makers aren't making games they want to play. There just making business decisions on what they think sells more. It's not rocket science to make a game that's fun but it takes a lot of involvement and passion, something that CEOs and other C suites don't have time for.

Sometimes buy a used ps5 game just so I can feel somewhat justified in buying the stupid thing. Otherwise it's almost all ps4 and indy games.

maybe if they were more focused in storyline, and gameplay. and not breaking through the uncanny valley, while squeezing gamers for every last penny, they could understand....whats its like....to be.......human
