Comment on Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games”

The weird people are still there, but development teams are much larger now, so their input is not as prominent. Plus the budgets are so large that a flop can heavily damage a company or even ruin it, so they’re very risk-averse. We need more AA or A games instead of relying so much on heavy-hitters.

The weird people still make tons of indie games.

  Indie games are great and all, but everybody I know is still waiting for great AAA games again that we can play together.

    I mean, sure, complaining and while doing the same thing and expecting a different result is one strategy. AAA games are purely capitalistic endeavours.
