Slate.com has up one of “those” articles about how mainstream games are contrived and how no one gives indie games the love they deserve. I think that’s kind of been the case, but will that continue to be true?
And maybe more importantly, do indie games (and I’m talking about the ones being sold) deserve more love? Maybe this sounds strange from a site about indie games. I’m just saying that only a few interesting indie games get released each year that aren’t freeware. And maybe the reason is because, like any industry, there are only so many people willing to risk MONEY on a new idea.
I’m certain that any high-quality, deserving indie game can make money. We can’t expect people to just give out their love for nothing, can we?
