Summary:
- The article discusses comments made by former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden about the potential for a "rebirth" of AA (or mid-budget) video games.
- Layden believes that the success of the "Clair de Lune" indie game, which was developed by a small team on a modest budget, shows that there is still a market for high-quality games that are not big-budget blockbusters.
- He suggests that the rise of digital distribution and the increasing accessibility of game development tools could lead to a resurgence of AA games, providing more options for players beyond just the biggest AAA titles.
