That shouldn’t be possible, but that’s what marketing does: it uses whatever words purport to convey quality and beat that word dead then keep going.
IMO, an AAA studio should be a studio that released and keeps releasing games that are highly rated. Budget, name, location, or whatever else shouldn’t matter one bit. Make good games, that’s what matters. Who gives a shit if it cost 10 billion to make a shit game. Doesn’t make you AAA.
Words have meaning, sure, but it doesn’t have to be the same for everybody. Especially such marketing terms that are thrown around willy-nilly to sound important and get investors on board.

It by definition makes you triple AAA if you have a large team with a large budget. It has absolutely nothing to do with quality
I’m saying that it should be. Money shouldn’t be synonymous with quality - because it isn’t.

Right but words have meaning, and AAA doesn’t refer to quality, even though many seem to think it does.

It’s an industry term that got picked up by marketers unfortunately
They do destroy a lot 🫠
