The AAA model of publishing is unsustainable. Not every game needs to be a $200 million dollar production that costs $60 dollars. Games made with shoe string budgets can be just as good. Look at Metro: Last Light, Minecraft, FTL, Bastion, Braid, Limbo, Outlast, and Day Z. All great games that did not follow the AAA model.
Retail games need to be sold at $20 and $40 at launch, not just $60. The AA titles will still be $60 but some smaller games need to be cheaper and get away from digital distribution only. Minecarft did extremely well in retail.I see this as great for gaming. Not every movie is a blockbuster and not every game should be AAA.
