Today I learned that games like Sea of Thieves, Fortnite, Hitman, GTA, Assassins Creed aren't AAA because they are too cheap according to your price table.


Sea of Thieves - $59.99 on console

Fortnite - F2P, so different enough business model that you have to take that into account

Hitman - $59.99 on console

GTA - $59.99 on console

Assassin's Creed - $59.99 on console

Nascar Heat 3 - $49.99 on console

Are you still going to pretend that you don't see the difference here?


So $10 difference according to your table makes a AAA game, while I can get all of them around here between 30 to 40 euros, whatever.


Yes, the initial MSRP is an extremely high SNR signal as to whether it's a AAA game or not.
