Number of As also don't say anything about how skilled the developers/designers/writers are, or to what extent they've been allowed to cook without chains or directions.

A lot of AAA games would have been amazing, if it wasn't for this meddling. The sad part of it, is that they've probably made the shareholders more money because of it. They've of course traded in brand value and goodwill for short term profit.

Consumers still preorder en mass. Buy the always-online single player games with DRM, and micro transaction stores. Then in the same breath, complain about the situation.
