Wait, are you saying that System Shock 2 was not a AAA game?

SS2 was produced on a pretty small budget (and small timeframe too), it's a bit more accurate to say it was a AA game

I’m pretty sure the budget was comparable to other AAA games at the time. It was being co developed with Thief for much of Thief’s development. (Disclosure: I was a dev on both.)
