I feel like it's two separate markets that are forced to share the same big tent known as "gaming".

I never play AAA games. I'm not on some moral crusade, they just don't appeal. I do not have the twitch reflexes for FPS, but smaller devs tend to make the sort of gameplay I like.

Right now the only indy game I can think of that's truly competitive is Battlebit, and that's only because everyone hates what became of Battlefield. Otherwise it's just me and what feels like a half dozen other weirdos out here trying to build a bakery so we can feed pie to harpies, while 90% of the world is playing COD like it's their job. It's two vastly different people who do not have the same needs, is what I'm saying.

So maybe people need to deal with that and stop honking the "play indy" horn so much. If that was the solution, people would already be on it.
