Matthew Karch, head of Saber Interactive, recently shared his perspective on the future of the gaming industry, predicting the decline of the high-budget AAA model. Karch, whose company developed Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2, stated: "I think the era of $200, $300, $400 million AAA games is coming to an end. I don't think it's necessary. And I don't think it's appropriate...I think if anything has contributed to job losses more than anything else, it's a budget of a few hundred million dollars for games."
Game developers are increasingly dismissing the relevance of the "AAA" label. Once signifying high budgets, superior quality, and low risk, it's now viewed as a marker of profit-driven competition that often compromises quality and innovation.
Revolution Studios co-founder, Charles Cecil, called the term "silly and meaningless," attributing its negative connotations to the industry's shift following major publisher investments. He emphasized that this change wasn't beneficial. Ubisoft's Skull and Bones, initially touted as a "AAAA" title, exemplifies this trend.
