Yeah you’re still not even contradicting what I’m saying, you just think you are. You’re arguing against positions I don’t hold lmao.

You’re missing my point and arguing against a strawman here. All I’m arguing is that the things AAA studios focus on (like hyper-realism) are not the things that make a game fun, and AAA studios sound be putting fun as the focus.

Many people (including me) consider the best game of 2024 to be Balatro.

Balatro. A game made by one guy who legitimately didn’t even think anyone other than his friends and family would buy it.

AAA studios do not understand what people enjoy at all.
