I don't hate Indie games but I am not keen on this rabid praise of them simply because the developer made it in their basement. I don't subscribe to this idea that Indie games are games for true gamers and everything else is bloated garbage. I don't appreciate being told what I'm supposed to enjoy and what I'm supposed to buy in order to be a "true gamer" when I've been playing games since I was capable of manipulating a controller, which is approaching 30 years ago, and have been doing so ever since. To me, Indie games are little distractions when I've become bored of what's on offer for AAA titles. Something that I don't want to get heavily invested in but I still want to game. That's about it.
The more I hear the term 'Indie' the more I associate it with some douche wearing crocs, a fedora, a t-shirt with a band no one ever heard of and likely never will, sporting a soul patch, and acting like they are the most educated person in the world with nothing more than a liberal arts degree while screaming about the horrors of capitalism and everything that society is.... while completely engaging in it. Needless to say, the image I get in my head makes me want to commit crimes.
