Do gamers ACTUALLY want smaller budget games?

[Bofferbrauer2]

I don't play AAA games anymore because they either feel samey or totally lack vision apart of one from the marketing department, and are just trend-chasing without any imagination of their own. That's simply not for me who grew up in the 90's with so many different games that simply didn't feel as ripping each other off and all wanted to be unique in their mechanics or gameplay instead of just changing the coat of paint.

Hence why for the last 15 years I only play retro/indie/Nintendo because those are still different and actually have some imagination and vision.
