I'm loving No Man's Sky, although it is perhaps the best example I've seen of a game with brilliant "indie spirit" that would majorly benefit from some AAA polish.

More money = better game.

Except you never said that. You said good games are a direct result of more money.

"More money= better game" is like saying "bigger special effects budget = better special effects", in that it is a no-brainer, but still subject to the skill and budgeting ability of the people making the thing.

You were essentially saying that lower budget games couldn't be great, because AAA games are apparently all great, which is patently false.

Nah dude your completely misrepresenting the argument.

1. If you have more money you can make your game better.
2. As games get more complex, so do budgets get bigger.
3. Said complexity is the new baseline for "good"
4. Your game may be "good" but not good compared to other games if you don't have the budget to hit the complexity that is expected of modern games.
5. Therefore cheap games aren't amazing anymore, and don't push the medium forward.
6. Exceptions only for genres where the measure of worth is not nessesarily about software complexity (visual novels, etc)
