    It’s not just Activision. It’s all of AAA gaming. If you want something new go to AA or indie games.

      Ehhh well, I’ve kinda regained a bit oh hope after starting Alan Wake II, but yeah the big three (EA, Activison, Ubisoft) are hilariously bad.

        Alan Wake is pretty much the definition of a modern AA game, though, so that just plays into what he’s saying.

        While Alan Wake 2 is super well executed, its development costs is dwarfed by modern triple A games that cost at least 10 times more to develop.

        (Alan Wake 2 reported budget 50-70 million euro, compared to games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077 which were all reported at ~500 million euro, while games like MW3 (2023) and GTA VI both have billion dollar+ budgets).

          Wow, had no idea the first one was made with such budget constraints… Though I am curious where you got the budget estimate for 2 as I haven’t found anyhting.
