Games made by large studios with large budgets.
AAA
This definition is pretty limited since it conflates indie games and AAA games.
The stereotype of a gamer is a young, socially isolated man, but that’s only the biggest demographic when talking about AAA “hardcore” games.
They talked about the lack of internal communication which led to all of the trans issues, but I think that issue extends over the entire game, along with probably every AAA media experience out there: Some writer wants to create an artistic and challenging experience, some author wants to create a funny / interesting experience, and some author wants to create a digestible experience for the mass market and all of those are in direct conflict. At this point I feel like these pieces of media should be seen as litmus tests for where the general population stands on certain topics, but you just can’t expect any of them to actually push any issues.
