If an indie studio can produce this, why not create a AA CRPG? Do you really need the third A?

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Im sorry BG3 is triple A in quality they are indie since they published their own games not cause they are small or low quality. Indie just gets thrown around as most are solo devs. With digital distribution less indies have to sell out to work with big publishers to get on consoles. Honestly it's why I think AAA publishers are dying they can no longer just buy the smaller fish.

The As represents how much the employees scream while making the game.

Baldurs Gate 3 is a AA CRPG tho?

BG3 had a budget of over 100 million and several hundred people working on it, it's well into AAA territory
