Martin Pichlmair [from Broken Rules] finally said that
| I think the big three console makers all know that independent gaming is here to stay and support it in their own ways. Whether it’s Sony’s Pub Fund, Xbox Live Arcade, or the Wii U’s social features, all consoles offer a good home for indie games by now. There are dedicated people at Nintendo that care for good games, and the launch lineup looks great for indie aficionados, Nintendo fans, and core gamers, doesn’t it? |
