SBFVGS - Ep.199: Are AAA Games Dying?

Super Best Friends Video Game Sleepover

In this episode, Adam and David sit down with the handsomely-faced Eric Krueger (may his handsome face be praised) to chat about the games they’re currently playing, including Hades and Hades II, Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarök, and Tunic. They then dive into the latest news, discussing rumors about Valve’s new game, Larian’s new development studio, and strange reports from Take-Two’s boss claiming that studios reported as shut down aren’t actually closed.

Then we delve into the meat and proverbial potato of the podcast: the state of AAA game development. With all the layoffs over the past several months, we discuss whether AAA development is dying and explore the incredible momentum that indie games are currently experiencing.
