I think the main difference between now and the PS3/360 era is that in the latter, big games tended to take like 2-3 years to make, whereas nowadays they can take 6+ years which understandably makes the long waits frustrating.

Naughty Dog for instance released 4 games on the PS3, but haven't released a single new game on the PS5 after more than half a decade.

Big games in people's favourite series just came more often back then and I think people miss that.

I agree… though that’s kinda besides the point lol. Yeah it’d be nice if we could get those big AAA games more frequently, but the people who complain about the overall state of the industry based solely according to the metric of AAA developers just comes off a tad bit silly to me. The industry has grown so much since then.

Not just AAA, but specifically Western AAA; while this sector has indeed been struggling, Asian AAA is mostly doing just fine.

Anyway, I figure it's best to just ignore those who just complain constantly along with the grifters. Constructive criticism is fine, but if all people who is moan then best to just ignore them I reckon.
