Oh, sorry for the moderately aggressive language then.

I'm just really sick of gaming media at large just ignoring that newer developers exist. Indie games aren't a silverbullet (the variety in smaller releases has plummated and a small set of genres are heavily oversaturated with no signs of stopping) but my word they care a lot more than AAA ever did.

I don't get why mainstream gaming discussion still hasn't moved over yet, it makes no sense. Indie games are lightweight, cheap and thus far more accessible for most gamers. You'd think people would fully shift their attention to that segment by now, even if most indies are almost as risk averse as AAA are these days.
