      It has a seemingly active community on Lemmy of all places, their posts frequently show up in my feed. What triple A game has this? Although I’m not interested in it too and they banned my country for a reason, I’m guilty in looking how to buy it.

        No current AAA games have this on lemmy because of late they are all one or more of:

        -Massively Overhyped Flop

        -No Lasting/Enduring Replayability

        -Insufferable Gacha/Microtransactions

        -Hugely Popular, But Basically Only Played By Rabid Children/ManChildren w/ Multiple Psychological Disorders

            Yeah, it is a rare exception, though I would argue it is not really a AAA game, more AA.

            True, it did have a huge budget and a large staff, but AAA games have even larger budgets, even larger staffs, and often shorter development times.
