Indie developer calls the indie boom "unsustainable"

B-tier games are almost gone and have not been replaced by indie games. Wonderful 101 is a B-tier game. There's not one indie game out their with that kind of bugdet and polish. And most AAA games fail to make a profit. We just hear about the successes. There are far more failures.

Oh so wonderful 101 is a B-tier game right? And I am guessing this classification is based off a game being made with an average budget... anything smaler will put them into indie territory. 

So that should means that games like, Infamous, child of light, alien isolation, sunset overdrive, transistor (indy), murdered:soul suspect, demon souls, vanquish, ratchet series, tekken series, sf series...... i could go on and on and on.

Point however is that  those b-tier games are still there, but just because they lack the marketing budget behind the CODs means they aren't as in your face. That doesn't mean they aren't successful either. 

And in every entertainment industry out there, there are always more failures than their are successes. So that point is invalid. Thats they way the world works. Do you have any idea how many games are made each year? If they were all the best things ever then we all would be bankrupt. Better way to look at it, teher are a lot of people that can make games, not everyone makes great games. The great devs should be rewarded, and thats what happens. If you make a great game, it will sell.
