What does AAA mean anymore? Is "COD" AA? How about "Cocoon"? Is "Brothers, A Tale of 2 Sons" considered AAA? Is AAA based on graphics, production 'value', or simply marketing budgets? 
Maybe AAA games are dead, and we don't know  it. 
But some folks work on AAA games. How do you navigate that job, what does working on AAA games mean, now that the pot just got smaller?

What a time for games, and being a game dev. Layoffs up the ying yang, failures, funding pulls, doom and gloom. The ebb and flow of the gaming industry. 
But why do these things happen? Maybe its part of something larger? Economics always plays a part. 
How did Palworld happen? Was the reward worth the risk? 
Am I missing out on the ultimate monster hunter game? Please help.

Greasy Says is moving to YouTube, and is changing. Change is good, keeps you frosty. Release time is a good time to reflect and take breaks, and breaks are good for replaying your favorite games, and re-traumatizing yourself!

Learn how to say "no". "No" is a powerful word. It can protect you, it can injure you, it can work on CEOs and it can work on toddlers. 
Saying 'no' is a skill we all must learn, and Greasy is gonna show you how. It'll help you in your professional gaming life, and your non-gaming personal life.

Nobody's getting laid, nobody's going outside, Diablo IV is here to ruin your summer. Paying $80 for 4 days early access, you have to be joking me.
Greasy coins a new term that you should totally use.
Young devs, get your money up, but be smart with all this developer $$$ you're making. Pay attention to the brown nosers. This podcast isn't just about videogames!

Gaming's standards are in the dumpster. Greasy says standards are important. In the way we treat others, the way we work as devs and business partners, and how we as devs should expect to be treated. Quiet Quitting infuriates. Perceiver trailer makes Greasy feel a way. Greasy has a terrible idea for a video game.

Greasy has been playing Spirit Farer and Amnesia: Rebirth at the same time.  Texas is overrated. How many SUVs and unsustainable families do we need really? Will gaming move to Texas along with the rest of the great California migration? Chop it up, roll it up, do it up. Haters get on your cardio. A new game narrative that's never been told! It's all here on GREASY SAYS!
