I have actually changed my purchasing habbits when it comes to Vita some time ago. I'm ignoring indie games and only buying retail titles. Indies may be cool, but that's not what I've bought my Vita for and not what I want to support. I've bought it for big AAA games and that's what I want from it. Now I want to get Batman and Spiderman, since these are the last big games released recently that I still haven't bought. I've bought 7 games the last 3 months and plan to continue focusing on them. I'm leaving indies for PS+ and discounts when they drop to around 2.5 Euro max.

I appreciate where you're coming from, but when I look at games like Strangers Wrath (which is considered an "indie game") it delivers as much as I would have expected from any AAA Vita game. Great visuals, infact, it's actually the best FPS on Vita without Killzone in the title.
I think we need to get away from "indie" as a "genre". I understand you not wanting 2D Flash games on your Vita. But some of these "indie" games are as technologically competent as any of the major 3rd party releases. Then Ubisofts best output on Vita which isn't Assassin's Creed could just as easily have been indie games (Lumines, Rayman Origins/Legends) without the previously known IPs.
I dunno, I just think we need to celebrate good games, rather than worry about whether the profits go to some bedroom coder or to shareholders in a multi billion dollar corporation. Remember, Angry Birds: Star Wars was published by Activision >_<

Stranger's Wrath isn't anywhere near to being an indie game. It's a port of a AAA Xbox game.
I don't care who makes the game, I care about the experience I get. And I've bought Vita to play games like Uncharted, AC, Tomb Raider, Resistance, Gravity Rush, Killzone, GTA, God of War, Need for Speed, CoD, TES, Witcher, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, MGS, FF, Batman, Spiderman, Deus Ex, Saint's Row, Darsiders, etc. I have recently realised that with the current prices of indie games, I'm just wasting too much money on these little experiences and can't really afford all the big retail games that deserve support. For evey 3-4 indie games, I could get a legit AAA retail game, since these indies are so bloody expensive on Vita (Terraria? 15 Euro! Cause why not? It's $5 or less on other platforms, but who cares?). That's why I'm ignoring them now. I'm only playing the ones I get on PS+ or those that cost up to 2.5 Euro (maybe 3 Euro if they are really awesome). Cause that's what indies cost on other platforms and that's what they are worth.
I want to support big games, cause I want to play more big games. I'm pissed every time I see "new announcements for Vita" and only indies inside, as I don't really care for most of them.
BTW. Aviggo77 - do something with your signature, it's way too big and is really iritating. Put these titles into one line separated by comas.
