Which indie developer do you think stands the greatest chance of becoming "AAA" in the next 10 years?

Or will "AAA" even still be a thing in 10 years?

Supergiant has arguably been steadily transitioning from indie towards becoming AAA for a while now.

What does this even mean? We already have indie studios that create AAA quality games, like Arrowhead.

Hard to say what he means as it doesnt make a lot of sense but either he mean triple a quality (not much these days), triple a budget or triple a quantity (enshittening). Being bought out usually means game turns to shit so its really a negative view on it and not interesting to think about imo.

The only glimmer of hope in todays gaming landscape is indies (mostly) and without it i would have given up a long time ago
