Anyone else tired of the "indie boom"?

Each one is noticibly more ambitious than the previous one. Flow was a 2D games. Flower took it to full 3D with a very original premise (and also a great game) but then Journey was up there with any AAA blockbuster for me. It really was an experience.

Problem is that none of those three games were indie titles, because all of them were funded by Sony. Once you get funded, you cease to be independent.

Another problem is that Sony cut ties after Journey was finished which will likely result in That Game Company's next project being of a smaller scale. Unless they get funded by another company, but that would once again not be indie development.

Depends how you define indie title to be fair.

Most high profile indie games are being snapped up by a major manufacturer through exclusivity deals etc.
