I'm sad that people genuinely view videogames through this lens. If it ain't got a multi-million dollar budget it apparently ain't shit, disregarding the fact that the majority of AAA games has been generic and focustested tripe while the most engaging experiences are invariably found in the indie scene.
That said, it shouldn't hurt for Sony to add a 'AAA' game in there just to offset these kind of opinions. Even though there's a bigger chance that the games offered will be even worse.
Perfect post. Most AAA games are vapid subscription services aimed at the lowest common denominator nowadays. Once you've played several over this gen especially, you've played them all. Since playing some of this gens indie titles I've never been more emotionally invested & moved. I think the beauty is in the simplicity of the likes of Rime, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Unravel, Journey etc. All at much more reasonable prices and even have been on PS+ which makes the service alone worth it to me.
With that being said, alluding to your closing comment and my statement about lowest common denominator, it's surprising that Sony, knowing that most of their customers complain about a AAA not included don't try to please all contingents by giving away 1 AAA & 1 Indie.
RE Edith: I loved, Everybody's gone to the Rapture... Sounds like i'll enjoy Edith Finch? What's the consensus on Gone Home, The Witness & Ethan Carter? Thinking of picking them up too.
