Yes, yes it is. The term coined by the Ubishit CEO trying to cover his own ass by claiming that Skull and Bones took so much time and money to make, and was being sold for higher than $60 (while still being a pile of shit) by saying it was a "AAAA game" and the term stuck. I mean, it's own very first use was to describe a terrible AAA game. It's only natural.

Oh hey, I forgot about that game's existence until now. It's name is so generic I used to accidentally call it Sea of Thieves, cause that's a more memorable name. Also a more memorable game.
