Couldn't agree more; the development cycles for AAA games have gotten absurdly long, and for what? You wait 5 years for a AAA title to come out, and it may be buggy or less polished than a AAA release from a decade ago that took much less dev time. I don't begrudge indie games for stealing more of the spotlight (hell, some of them rightfully deserve it) but I feel like now the tables are turned and now the AAA studios are ripping off ideas from indie games in the hopes that it'll sell. That is, when they're not trying to sell you skins, battle passes, or gatcha pulls for a character you might want. Things might be looking less optimistic for current releases, but there's still an enormous collection of past titles to revisit.I feel like the whole five year development cycle has really fucked up with the perception of retarded zoomer faggot gamers who were babies when Rockstar was pumping out a game a year.
