People have been claiming for years that if big studios made AA games they’d be super popular but anytime it happens it’s a massive flop. Games like Kunitsu-gami and the Prince of Persia metroidvania game were well received but failed to hit sales targets, and visible player numbers were very bad. South of Midnight just released and peaked at 1438 people on Steam(Blue prince was around 10x as a true indie game that also launched day one on Gamepass and PS Plus)
People like to buy small indie games and big AAA games from the big companies. AA games tend to fall through the cracks.
