Hell no, the indie boom is just getting started. It's a lot easier to spot a bad indie game from a mile away than it is to spot a bad AAA game, because the big-money publishers have giant advertising budgets to trick people into thinking their games are good.

The hardware companies also know a good indie game from a bad one, usually. Think Sony would have shown No Man's Sky at E3 if it looked like trash? Think Nintendo would have kept showing Shovel Knight over and over for the past 8 months if it wasn't going to be one of the best games released on either of their platforms this year?

Also, Flower and Journey were published by Sony. C'mon now.
