I think I agree with you. It may be like it already is with bideo bames, where the "AAA" and corpo-declared "AAAA" slop is unbearably overpriced, overmarketed, overhyped, and underdelivered and the good stuff is the small stuff that so far continues to be made.
There's YouTube tier content being cranked out by one or two insane people who really just want to make movies that can be good.
They tend to be short and punchy, rather than long form and complex. But the desire to make good art is too strong for people to simply ignore. They're going to make it and they're going to want people to see it and (if its good) its going to get spread around whether Disney wants to compete with it or not.
The real question is whether we'll be able to get it quickly and easily, or whether its going to end up as the kind of media that you can only find if you know someone or have an invite to the right forum.
I can hope.
Yep, I have done nothing but play indie games for the longest time or retro games for this very reason.
Probably the biggest studio I still use to play is Jagex with RuneScape, but even then they have conceived of the idea of a “living game” and actually embrace being bullied by its own community.
The last game I remember enjoying that was AAA was Super Mario Odyssey.
I have not purchased another AAA game since. I prefer to give my money to indie devs.
