You say that, but I personally hated his last game Braid which I played on console so wouldn't even try this one on PC or otherwise without some form of demo. I appreciate I'm in the minority on that one but I also don't think what he is charging for this game really helps for what it is.

Why would he charge less than that?

We shouldn't care at all about "indie or not". The game took years of development. Its beautiful, it has a lot of content, it has good production values. No way it's just a $10-20 dollar indie game, it's not some generic pixelated indie garbage game developed in some random guy's room like we see in new releases everyday. I bought games like Zero Escape for the same price, and the content/production value is not much more than The Witness. Same thing with Portal 2 or a lot of other games. Even FIFA, $60 each year for a few improvements, and nobody complains about it... I don't care at all where does the game come from, I care about what it's worth. We should all do that.

If you pay your game depending on "AAA" or "not AAA", it's really not a good thing for the industry. "Let's kill all indie developers trying to create more ambitious games" is a great way to end up only with the annual Assassin's Creed and FIFA.
