That just proves other strategies have success. AAA bullshit and good games can both be successful.

Uhhh… k? BG3 is not a AAA game?

It's AAA in a sense, but it isn't bullshit. In fact, indie games can be bullshit in the form of asset flips, knock offs, and uninspired crap. Budget doesn't directly determine bullshit, it's just that AAA bullshit is a more noticeable issue.

Regardless, great media makes money alongside trash media. That's how it's always been, we just don't remember the trash as much.
