Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's success proves:

The middle market isn't dead, it's just evolving.

What do you think? Are AA games disappearing or transforming?

So, what does "AA" mean today?

Is Yakuza a AA or AAA game? Is Mortal Kombat? Is Palworld?

What if we're looking at it all wrong?

Maybe we should focus on value not labels:

↳ Games that deliver quality experiences
↳ At sustainable development costs
↳ With pricing that reflects their scope

From a studio not backed by a major publisher. At a price point below AAA games. Here's what's really happening:

The definition of "AA" has become meaningless.

↳ Is it about budget? (Uncharted 2: $20M vs Modern AAA: +$100-300M)
↳ Is it about price point?
↳ Is it about scope? (open world, linear?)

The "AA" game market is dead.

Or is it?

Industry veterans like Shuhei Yoshida claim "the AA market has disappeared."

Meanwhile, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 sold 2 million copies in two weeks.
