That's a good point, though I'll say that there are a fair few massive projects which are also willing to take major risks. Speaking of EA, you can really feel the passion in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Or God of War, or Red Dead Redemption 2. But yes, there are a large number of AAA blockbusters which seem to have gone the way of the Hollywood blockbuster.

The independent gaming is thriving like never before, though. Games like Return of the Obra Dinn, Outer Wilds, Subnautica are pushing the boundaries of not just what games can do, but fiction in general.
