Angry Call of Duty Fans Are Review-Bombing the Wrong Modern Warfare 3::Poor Modern Warfare 3. No, not the new one. The original one, from 2011. It’s getting review-bombed by angry Call of Duty fans who seem a bit confused about which Call of Duty is which.

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.
