AAA just loving means "big budget," is that so hard to get. It's shorthand for "triple-A production quality," in particular big flashy graphics, explosive setpieces, professional voice acting, etc. Nobody ever in the history of the known universe has assumed it is indicative of actual gameplay quality.

The op is an idiot

AAA means major publisher.

Indie means like 3 guys in a basement.

middleware doesn't really exist anymore.

Exactly this, but not at all, because it's wrong as hell. Games like, say the Persona and Disgaea series aren't "AAA" games despite decent budgets and good exposure. Some more Non-AAA, Non-Indie Games include Dynasty Warriors, Psychonauts, Saints Row 1 and 2, anything by Suda51, etc etc I'm bored of this.
