minus-squaredangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·9 months agoWhat is a AAA game? A game released by a large publisher? Is that the only criteria? Then the answer is “money”. If a AAA game has to meet some level of quality control before it’s called AAA, why is Ubisoft and EA considered AAA?
minus-squareThe_Lopen@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·9 months agoNegative. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Ubisoft is AAAA now.
