Not to defend big companies, but big companies have larger operating costs and they have more corporate responsibilities, to companies and people who fund them.
AAA game costs tens or hundreds of millions to make. Indie game can be made with 50k.
When game costs +40 million to make, you really cant take much risks and cant expect that the guys with the wallet wont want to interviene with you.
I just wanted to point that its not because the companies are some inconpetent cartoonisly evil entities, but its because of real live necessities and i bet there is plenty of talented amd passionate people working there too.
I would also not belittle AAA games. There are plenty of people who enjoy the yearly NHL and CoD releases and thats okay. Its not that differend that some people like mindless action movies and some people like artsy movies.

That’s all indirectly what I meant. Spend big money ant take no risks, players get expensive game with nothing original.
