AAA-Category was already stupid in the first place. It originates from grading systems, but instead of a sane A - F grading or 100% - 0% we got AAA and Indy.

I agree, but I think AA also exists. I’d put Remnant From the Ashes in that category

Pretty sure it comes from credit rating systems.

I think one could call credit rating a grading system. But I won’t die on this hill.

Pretty sure it comes from America Automobile Associations.

The year is 2051. The Witcher 9 live service game is coming out this year, and it’s supposed to be the industry’s first A x 10^14 game, but Ubisoft has shattered expectations by announcing that their next Assassins Creed will be A x 10^16, skipping an entire generation of A’s.

All the article is trying to say is Cyberpunk took development expenses to another level.
He may have been jesting with the interviewer, but it’s not far from being the truth. It was revealed that year that Cyberpunk 2077 was a drastically expensive game to both develop and fix. It cost CD Projekt a whopping $125 million to fix the game and pump it with new content after it was released – the firm spent $21 million alone in marketing for the Phantom Liberty expansion. That’s more than some developers spend on an entire game.
By the time CD Projekt was ready to move away from Cyberpunk 2077, almost half a billion dollars had been invested in the game. If budget alone is enough to make a game ‘AAAAA’, CDP came close to that designation with Cyberpunk 2077.
