Because AAA is the sound you make when you realise that your favourite game franchise has been rendered creatively irrelevant by boardroom executives who hold no stock in the company they’re being paid fuck-you money to ruin, the game itself will cost as much as a day of cocaine and multiple concurrent sex workers, you’ll be squeezed for subscriptions and rereleases for the next decade at best before the next uninspired trend-chasing sequel, and it won’t even work on launch.
Alternatively, it’s the sound you make when you contemplate that your favourite game hasn’t even come out yet because it’s being made by a legendary but somehow underfunded indie developer whose uncompromising creative integrity rivals the 1994 lineup of Gwar as they snubbed a distribution deal with Warner Bros. just to keep the song “Baby Dick Fuck” on the album, and the game has already created an online community of toxic fans who hate it before it even launches, and you realise that the only way you’ll ever have satisfaction is by becoming a game developer yourself.
