It has been a trend that we see fewer AAA games per year, for a very long time. I think that can easily stabilize at a number of AAA games similar to what we saw last year, when we stop designing games that take up infinite time to play. Likewise, a great year for games doesn’t mean that so many of them are concentrated in the AAA space. Hollow Knight Silksong, Mina the Hollower, and Penny’s Big Breakaway could, potentially, all be some of the best games we’ve ever played, and not one of them will have come close to a $100M budget. (I don’t think this year will top last year, but my point is that it doesn’t require massive budgets to do so.)
