I agree the gaming industry is weird.. and as a gamer I'm getting worried about it.
Compare it to the movie industry or music industry.The movies and music that get funded don't suit the tastes of the hardcore movie or music fans but they make money. i.e. Michael Bay's movie... or compare Jonas Brothers to a band like Arcade Fire or Bloc Party. Depending on your taste you might think one is great and the other is terrible... regardless one makes a lot more then the other.
The difference with the gaming industry is that it doesn't seem like gaming industry can support an indie gaming market.
