      Welcome to the world of indie games, where the passion leads to experiences that stick in minds more than plenty of AAA games these days

        This. I genuinely believe that in the near future indie games will be the sole torch-bearer for what I would call “traditional gaming”. Tighter, more focused experiences with no microtransactions or sanitized, inoffensive bloat. Games that are offline and don’t require any server handshake to function. And as the technology available to them advances, it will enable indie devs to be more and more ambitious with their vision.

          It seems most artforms reach the point where the tools are available for the indie efforts to be as good as the corporate stuff.

          Games seem to be rapidly reaching the tipping point, and then all the big players have to offer is throwing more money at projects with no guarantee they’ll be as enjoyable.
