Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's success proves:

The middle market isn't dead, it's just evolving.

What do you think? Are AA games disappearing or transforming?

Get the full breakdown in this week’s Game Industry Executive Summary (Gies)

So, what does "AA" mean today?

Is Yakuza a AA or AAA game? Is Mortal Kombat? Is Palworld?

What if we're looking at it all wrong?

Maybe we should focus on value not labels:

↳ Games that deliver quality experiences
↳ At sustainable development costs
↳ With pricing that reflects their scope

The "AA" game market is dead.

Or is it?

Industry veterans like Shuhei Yoshida claim "the AA market has disappeared."

Meanwhile, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 sold 2 million copies in two weeks.

From a studio not backed by a major publisher. At a price point below AAA games. Here's what's really happening:

The definition of "AA" has become meaningless.

↳ Is it about budget? (Uncharted 2: $20M vs Modern AAA: +$100-300M)
↳ Is it about price point?
↳ Is it about scope? (open world, linear?)

Wow finishing Elden Ring gave me the worst feeling ever, depressed and no closure haha 🤣

Just finished Elden Ring plus DLC. Took me 180h.

It’s crazy how much content was available. From Software must be the #1 p4p game developer today.

Just got the DCEASED comic book. What an awesome premise and start. Hehe “Tweeted”.

Thnx.

Wait! So there was two sets of microwave hallways?

Because I only remember the one from MGS4.

I know, but what is the reference with regards to the year 1987?

Can you elaborate?
