And don't confuse high budget indie studios with AAA game developers
This is a nonsense take.
The Last of Us, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, God of War, Doom. There are plenty of AAA games worth your time and money. Every bit as lovingly crafted as your precious indie darlings.
Maybe stop buying them blindly because you've seen a flashy ad for them on TV. There's plenty of bad AAA games that do all the gameplay competently but have literally nothing to say. Where you can't feel the touch of the designer at all, and all you can hear in it's place is a hubbub of design-by-committee noise. The only thing those games have to say is "give me your money".
Notice that other than Baldur's Gate and Elden Ring, those are pretty old titles at this point. The AAA studios are doing everything they can to make sure those nightmares never happen again.
