Why AAA? Come on Sega, you can get it to AAAA, have people pay for time like back in the arcade days! Game starts, you get "Insert coin" and a microtransaction!

Dream big!

AAA means bigger budget which means more money. Investors don’t want a $30 sleeper hit they want a $60 game of the year edition that adds fishing.
