The cost ceiling for AAA games has increased, but no I’d say considering advancements in game engines and the power of personal computers the floor has never been cheaper (1 person can make a game in their free time for $0, even 3D).
If any were to embrace the lower-end(/minimalism, proven older techniques) you’d think it’d be this company, but now their releases are “only” 10-20GiB.
Games are also much easier to distribute now than they ever where, saving cost.
True- but they cost like 1000x more to develop too.
