Thread to complaint/talk about indie videogames and the indie industry.

Personally I really dislike when indie studios try to act like they are triple A companies, the term "indie industry" kind of triggers me tbh, I wish we could go back to the 2000's when indie videogame meant one guy or a small group of friends making an amateur game for fun about something they loved, most of what came out was still shit ofc but the good ones had soul like pic related.
Pls prove me wrong if you can.

Incoherent boomer rambling over.

indie is when you take INDIE_GAME_ENGINE 6.3 and add a few sprites and now you have a le pixels game that's worse in every way than a dos game
indie is just a buzzword and corporate category. noone in the 2000s called themselves indie

Yeah indie game dev teams are just start up companies now who are pushing low effort assets and mechanics out to become l33t gaym devs.

Though if you're complaining about a lack in the market, this is your chance to make lots of money.
