You have an emotional reason to support them. Why should anyone listen to you about them if your views are emotionally tainted and your own standard requires detached judgement?

"Your opinion is not valid because you like, not dislike what I dislike" is what this sounds like.

Alright then, tell me which open world driving+action game is better than GTA or Cyberpunk? Which RPGs are better than Buldur's gate, Elder scrolls and Kingdom Come? What other online shooters besides Battlefield, COD, Arma (besides those hero/competitive) are that popular and generally great? What about flight simulator? I'm sure there are indie studios beating Microsoft at that.

You cannot and will not convince me that AAA games are "middle of the road, mechanically stagnant". AAA studios are literally the ones inventing new stuff and pushing the bar higher up, hence the increasing time between releases. From valve's material rendering to real time lighting and ending with all kinds of misc things like TAA, texture tech, thousands of little mechanisms everyone now copies (especially from titles like Far Cry 3 that innovated alot). It has become incredibly hard to actually make a great AAA game, and logically that's respectable for anyone who accomplishes this.

Granted, sometimes the companies behind those games are very questionable, but do you really care what happens at Samsung factory?
