indie devs need to stop making knockoffs of 8-bit and flash games before they assume the role of absolute moral authority of the videogame industry.

And I suppose that forum posters should also have to make something other than 8-bit/flash games before they voice their oppinions on the internet as well? Or is it if you are an indie dev you somehow have less rights to voice your oppinions...

Never mind the fact that Minecraft and his new game are not 8-bit or flash bassed.

Well Minecraft does look exactly like an 8-bit game would in 3D, but that's not the point I was making.  You have developers like Notch here and the guy who did Angry Birds for example with one hit game each under their belt who now think they now have the pulse of the entire gaming industry and know exactly how it should be run and what gamers want.

Of course they're entitled to their own opinions.  But just because they had a hit game, that doesn't necessarly make them leaders of the industry all of a sudden.
