That’s like saying only Disney can make movies. Cause they have capital.
not rly, you don't have studio level funding if you don't optimize (the content) for revenue. same with large/aaa level games
edit: according to George Lucas, filmmakers in the USSR had more artistic freedom than he had when making Star Wars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWqvaMEFIdI
Anyone can make a movie, but you can't make a big budget movie without a big budget.
