It's not a good comment, it's nothing but a massive generalization. Ten good releases over a generation? An opinion, yeah, but one I completely and totally disagree with. I wouldn't trade Torchlight, AudioSurf, World of Goo, Trine, Deponia, or Machinarium for most of the "AAA" titles out there. I don't give a rat's ass how much it cost to make, I only care if it's good or not.

I was more so agreeing with his comments towards Phil. But for Indie developers to suddenly act like this is childish. Ive had a lot of fun with indie games this generation but FEZ and Braid are not ground breaking titles is what I am trying to say. We have had better indie games and far more successful ones at that. Yet they dont go around with some huge ego critisizing everybody.
WHile both of them can be considered good or some of the best that doesnt mean they should go around acting like jerks either.
These two indie developers are making indie developers look bad in my opinion. Espcecially when the majority is not that special in the first place.

Then he should only criticize those two people. They hardly represent all small developers. The very idea is ridiculous. Mass generalization based on a few people is never an intelligent thing.
The major of indie developers aren't anything special? True, but neither are the majority of large developers, either. That fact does absolutely nothing to wipe out the ones who ARE special. I'd feel like a fool if I wished the dozens of excellent indie developers would go away just because a couple of guys insulted Microsoft.
