AAA is about the production costs.

Now now, it can mean both. Words throughout history have adopted different definitions. I think this is one such example.

Not really. It's always been production costs. Only some people on some forums seem to still misunderstand its meaning.

Epic Mickey 2 is considered an AAA title.

But it has the capacity to change if the people adopt it. Words really do change in meaning over time.

I think Lair is what changed things. With its horrible metacritic rating, to call it a AAA game seemed idiotic for everybody involved. Calling bad games AAA is the general idea that made the term a dual meaning.

Not saying is one or the other, it can and IMO is referred to both. I dont know why ppl such as yourself cling to the old definition. It doesnt affect you personally.
