Independent games are great because they give people a ton of variety, not just in what to play, but in how much to pay. I'd very much rather be given a selection of titles ranging from $5 to retail, rather than the more traditional "everything priced around retail" seen in the past. Honestly, a lot of the hate for independent games seems to be motivated by platform bias, where people will praise indie games when they're on their platform of choice, or criticize them when they're not.

Anyway, we all have our own preferences, and if you haven't found any indie games that you like, there's nothing wrong with that (although to be perfectly honest, you probably haven't given much effort into searching), but to hate on a scene that offers a tremendous amount of variety at various affordable prices and helps new developers gain a foothold in the industry is something that I just can't understand.

Yet hating on the bigger companies are perfectly fine. MS, Sony and Nintendo all make and support games that are about 5 bucks to retail price... 

I don't know where I've stated that hating on big companies is fine...


Several people have in here, but you only pointed out the indie hate...
