Hey, I’m on board with that idea 100%, but then you can’t complain online about “Western AAA under-delivering”. That’s just “the studio’s own strengths and weaknesses”. Can’t eat your cake and have it, too.
It’s an awkward phrase in either version, but when I first encountered the original it was an immediate “Oh, so that’s what it’s supposed to mean” moment, so now I default to that. If people were shamed into abandoning “couldn’t care less” we can make this happen.
My pendantry is either a sneaky precision strike or a carpet bombing, no half measures.

I’m upvoting just for the proper version of the phrase

Um, isn’t that the correct form? If you couldn’t care less, then you care the absolute minimum amount.
Hah. I’ve internalized it so much I couldn’t even bring myself to write it the other way on purpose. I’m not even editing that :D
Now I’m not sure if you could or couldn’t care less.
But we can complain about AAA studios under delivering.
