This is such an exaggeration that its legitimately funny. Maybe you're periodically just on Lemmy or something, so you're just unaware, but tons of people still love AAA games. Case in point: Starfield. Even that pile of garbage had tons of Bethesda shills defending it. Some of them were even on Lemmy.

You said it:

There are also people defending Nestle. You just got to search hard enough. Yet the consensus is still against it, especially compared to other companies, or here, games. Many smaller game studios or even indie devs are far more successful imo.

Yeah I'm not disagreeing with you, I think indie/small developers generally make better games than AAA studios these days. But this is what you said:

I believe I have never seen a modern AAA game that is not utter shit with EVERYONE complaining about it.

And I just think the utter absolutism you used there was funny.
