Two reasons:

  1. The money is mostly spent on visual production, graphics, and big name actors to voice characters, which doesn't automatically make a game good.

  2. Season passes, MTX and other bullshit being shoved down our throats in big budget games is getting even worse.

I will always choose a smaller project of passion over a lackluster, watered-down AAA game with an overinflated budget.

I wish I could get it through to my dumbass friend. She says that a game must have good graphics or else she won't play it.

Stardew valley? Nope. It's too blocky. Undertale? Nope. Might as well be an NES game.

Your friend is entitled to her own opinion and I somewhat get her. Good graphics are really nice and can add greatly to a game.
