Fortnite and Genshin are content mills

League of Legends is a massive success but AAA? Not really. It's basically a Warcraft 3 mod.

And Pubg actually was a mod wasn't it?

I'm not questioning the success.

AAA implies a certain type of quality to me, and being a freemium content mill online service game is absolutely not it.

Oh ok, then I guess we just have a different definitions. I would define AAA titles almost purely by budget/resources.

So for example, I would say that Fortnite and Genshin were AAA games from the start, and that LOL and Pubg became and have been AAA titles for years now.
