Maybe its just the games they make.... think back to SNES days.

They didnt need hours worth of CGI movie cutscenes or voice acting for every little thing.

I think it comes down to the game developers, thinking they are forced to make expensive games. They arnt.

Look at Yooka-Laylee, the game is made by a small team of only 6-7 people!

Then look at the quality of the visual/music&sound/design&polish ect...

it still looks fantastic, but is probably made on a tiny budget compaired to other games.

Yeah, most modern non-indie games have excessive budgets, hence the huge amount of studio closures in the last decade, and games failing despite selling multiple millions. If it weren't for the Wii last gen and mobile games now subsidizing AAA production, the crash would likely have happened already.
