Indie games are mostly trash (Caution, rant)

I liked OP's argument, until he brought Cave Story. A free game with more than 40 hours of gameplay, a huge sense of exploration and danger, a great story with different endings and, above all else, tough game but fun, and he says that beneath its retro style there's nothing?

What?

I don't recall Cave Story being that long. The game has like five or six areas where you go back and forth a little and the thing is finished in about five hours? Has been a long time since I played it. Never bothered with a second playthrough, because the game didn't live up anywhere close to the praise it got. Everything in it feels like the poor man's version of a good game.

On topic: It would be more correct to say that most indie games that are considered good are trash.

Gah! How dare you!?
