I guess I don’t need to play AAA games.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 21 hours ago

I haven't been interested in any self-proclaimed AAA games for ages anyway. And my 5+ year "out of date" hardware is still handling nearly everything I ask it to anyway.

Personal opinion warning:
Last actual AAA game released in my mind is BG3, and my hardware runs it 60fps medium settings with absolutely no issues.
Any Mega-Dev monopoly that claims to be AAA can suck my left nut and settle for a more realistic C-. And that won't change in my mind until such time as the start making games as art again, for people to enjoy, instead of an effort to wring every penny pence or yen from everyone they possibly can....
The expectation of infinite growth is a fucking cancer.
