Why does it seem people here are scared of indie games?

First off, I generally don't play PC games, along with the vast majority of visitors of this site. This is a console centric site, so I'm not surprised by the lack of interest in PC related things.

also, in my opinion indie games lack 1 of two things in general

1) Length
2) Polish

I personally do not know of any highly polished indie game that lasts 20 or more hours.

World of Goo has my interest, along with a few other indie games, but they are more to fill the gaps between Tales of Symphonia, Wario Land, and other big releases.

 

polish? as in graphics? graphics dont make game. Gameplay is what makes a game fun. Also most indie titles are free or dirt cheap so you shouldn't expect super fantastically long games.

Polish doesn't mean graphics.  It means tighetning up everything in the programming and gameplay.

For example a game that's great... but has one or two AI exploits or something else that makes it real easy... or a glitch or two that makes the gameplay harder then it's supposed to be... etc.
