it goes like this

I can make a burger and I charge you $5 for it

my costs to make the burger have gone down, but I don't lower the price

instead I slap some guacamole on it made from imported avocados
I bring in chef ramsey to make the bun
the plate I serve the burger on has gold lining
I stick a flag in the burger licensed by Marvel with Iron Man on it

I ask you to pay $25 because it cost so much to make said burger

you tell me no way, it should only cost like $5, like it did before

I say that is ridiculous, look at all the cool stuff it has on it

you say, "but I can go across the street and get a burger just as good, actually no that tastes better than your burger for $5"

you say that isn't fair because the guy across the street doesn't have all this cool stuff

I just don't understand your argument. Keeping an edge over your competitors is necessary, not fluff or a distraction. I guess you're calling them those things because in your view you can make games that are just as good for a lower cost, but all the stuff you're pointing out as fluff is literally what differentiates AAA games from non-AAA games. to the extent that AAA games are a market at all they seem obviously relevant to me.

See, what you want is a good tasting burger
Why then throw all this junk on it?
