I should not need to explain this one.

AAA studios are making crap games recently, the more middle grade ones that absolutely rocking it.
So what's the point of the grades?
It’s not like the grades are regulated or anything. It’s just a vague indicator of how much money went into a given game.
thankfully it lets me know what studios to avoid unless it becomes an internet sensation, but I think the AAA/AA studio thing is something the studios started with.
They are just production value. How good a game looks and sounds, which isn't necessarily related to how fun a game is.
Company size, probably. AAA = extremely bloated with more bureaucracy to get anything done and approved than most governments.
