that's why I find self-limiting forms of gamedev more interesting than AAA games. I'd rather play a half-finished roguelike, gamejam games e.g. itch.io or Ludum Dare , indie games, concept games. You feel the creativity more. I don't care for a scripted piece of entertainment. I want to explore different game mechanics and explore ways of interacting. AAA games almost never give you that.
