Well, not entirely. There’s still plenty of AAA games that are generally considered great (Witcher 3, Gta 5, RDR 2, Cyberpunk, Last of us, etc.) but there are also many more that are “playing it safe” or straight up bad. Sequels like Call of Duty or Assassins Creed are almost impossible to tell apart, gameplay of too many AAA brings nothing new, and so on.
And then there’s AAAA Skull and Bones which was just absurd piece of shit.
It does mean something about the game. It losely sets the bar of expectations of quality.
