The last few months, but true, I very likely have missed a few things. The only thing I wanted to say with that is that one side of the coin has certain strengths, while the other side has DIFFERENT strengths.
And I am all for people not needing to care about whether a game is Indie or not. Unfortunately, most people do exactly that however, by dismissing Indie Games as "2d platforming shit" or whatever other reasonings I've come across.
If most people would actually consider big budget and Indie games as "equal", in giving both types of games an equal and fair chance, this topic wouldnt exist. People shouldn't really care wether or not a game is indie, but they do, and thats usually not in favor of the game.
You're kind of kneecapping yourself there. If no one cared if something was indie, many people would go "Why does this game looks so shitty and primitive, it's probably terrible" and go grab modern warbattles 5. For better or worse, the hipsters going NAW MAN ITS INDIE deflect that.
