@miketruk I doubt there will ever be a based AAA game, and I don't think the AAA part of the industry can be saved.

At the current rate, given how game dev tools are advancing, AA and indies will displace AAA in the coming decade or two.
Simply due to economic reasons.
No corporate layer draining money, and the tools allow a few dedicated people to create tons of content.

Asset creation is the only advantage AAA had, with their massive teams, but now you can buy / get for free / generate with AI all the assets you can dream up.

Games like No Man's Sky, and Pal World, were very successful, despite having tiny teams.

AAA is already experiencing decline as their whole sector shrinks, and jobs are cut.

Good riddance, I say.
