I've always found this argument against big budget games one of the most stupid internet discourses gamers ever created. And gamers are by far the worst at creating the most stupid and dumb narratives among all other entertainment niches, so that's something
The thing is: Some design choices inherently needs bigger budgets to work. If you don't want to expend big money, don't make games that needs money to make
It's like when someone decides to create a movie. If you want a big epic sci-fi movie of course you will need shit tons of money on production to pull it off
A familiar drama? You can create a very high quality one with less than a million dollars
