In 5 years people will realize we were in a golden age of video game development and corporations murdered it by doing this over and over again.
AAA gaming is ruining the industry. Indies are still going strong however.
They aren't exclusive entities when you consider the careers of game developers who may have otherwise been able to leverage the stability and opportunities that came from working for a large company to advance their career and eventually create successful indie game studios themselves. This is ultimately bad for indie game development though I understand the schadenfreude.
they also hardly ever make their money back
It's almost as if the larger AAA Studios shouldn't need to operate and they need to be split up/downsized.
