    Or parents/grandparents buying gifts for kids. As a parent myself, there’s price targets for gifts that AAA games fit right into. I deviated from it this past year and gave my daughter a cheaper game that I figured she’d like. It was a dinosaur-themed Harvest Moon called Paleo Pines. The bet paid off since she’s actually put down Minecraft to play this one rather than playing it for a bit and returning to Minecraft. Oh yeah, Minecraft itself isn’t AAA. So I’ve got decently high hopes she will avoid wasting her money on the polished turds a lot of the bigger studios are putting out now.
