What are you talking about? The "AAA" classification has always been a measure of corporate involvement and budget, not of quality. If you think that being large in scale and having good production quality is what makes "AAA" games, you're dead wrong.

What are you talking about…? What other industry uses it that way? Every other industry is quality, not size. Don’t let them get away with this shit.

Don’t defend them and let them get away with this shit.

If you continue to use this incorrect term, it will become a thing, that’s what they are hedging on, people like you letting this happen. AAA means quality, they aren’t putting out quality product so they are trying to change what the term means so they look good. Way to eat that shit right up.

The AAA games they used to put out were quality games at one point. So the term was correct, now that the quality has slid they are trying to get marketing to work on their side.

And people like you letting them get away with it is how it works.

I think this is where people usually say shill and boot licker in these exchanges.

Way to explain your point with anything of substance dude….

You’re the reason why marketing works so well. Say something flashy and people will find a way to defend it and support them. Even if it’s nothing to do with anything.

So nothing but a troll defending corporations using terms how they want…? Okay. Keep using the term the way they want so it means literally nothing anymore! You are the problem, glad you made it obvious! Thanks!
