Why in the fuck do modern games cost so damn much yet the results are so mid. While WW remains to be see how good, mid or bad it is, a lot of games these days have insane budgets for what really shouldn't be the norm.

Joueur du Grenier had a great video (only in french, sadly) a couple weeks ago explaining why everybody is jumping on the open-world bandwagon, and explains the reasons why they are so expensive:

Basically, even the big publishers need investors, and those saw that open-world (and early GaaS) games sold well and are now pretty much mandating them before they invest their cash into the games. But since they need to get rushed out from there, they lack cruelly in imagination, innovation or interesting designs, and he argues that if the publishers continue going down that road they will slowly go the way of the dodo as it will bring them back less and less money to follow the investor's wishes.
