Calling the number 5 selling game of 2014 "not AAA" is pretty much semantic. I agree, it's not AAA, in terms of assets, but I'm saying a "box of lego bricks" (or something like that - copying Minecraft won&#x27

The only way to make a "AAA" game on a low budget now, competing with the massive asset libraries AAA games build up, is to create some kind of easily modded game, where players can build their own assets. Minecraft does this, in

If a physicist wants to prove that a perpetual motion machine can work, they'll be shot down. If a sociologist tries to do the equivalent, as long as their idea is attractive it's hard for detractors to prove they are wrong.
