TBF it's hard to compare game development in the 90s and in the 2020s. The development tools are much more abstracted nowadays, which should make it easier to programm a given functionality, and I'd assume that the audience for games is much larger, too. On the other hand, people expect much more from a AAA game nowadays than in the 90s.
