It's odd how development and marketing costs alter perception of the quality of a given product. Call it a sense of fair play as well as a consumer cost to entertainment value perception. I don't personally think it's up to debate that there are in effect, two separate grading scales for low budget and big budget titles. |
I am well aware of the different standards AAA and indies are held by reviewers, which is why they are in seeperate categories.
