Indie and solo devs make the gameplay argument, but it's a lie. if they had the resources: people with the talent, time, skills, money, they would make a AAA game. but they don't so they make an indie game + some excuses.
Yet, Factorio and Rimworld completely blow that statement out of the water. Both of those games have made bank, and neither Ludeon or Wube have shown any interest in creating some bland super graphics shooter that is a AAA game. Gameplay>polish, every single time.
