What do you think ?

What is the difference between Respawn, indie dev making a game under the ea protection, and an indie game financed by Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft and only sold as a digital game ?

Why most people think indie/digital necessary means less ambitious ? There is plenty of retail games less ambitious, with less content than indie/digital games.

Because most indie games are less ambitious than retail games. Look at Steam, and all the indie games we don't talk about.

 

The problem is when an indie game is more ambitious, people are just blind and close minded and just look at it's status " lol just an indie game" whereas it can be compared to a retail game. and at the opposite, they will praise more a retail game even less ambitious just because it's retail, it's silly.

 

Just saying it's silly to put all the indie game at the same level, some should be put at the same level as retail games
