What do you mean, AAA games expand upon the formula...
When small indie studios create unique smash hits and then all we see from AAA studios are clones of that game with more monetization. If that's not capitalist innovation, then I don't know what is.
Having damage numbers flying off the enemies when you hit them or other frivolous BS isn't actually innovation, man.
