How important do you feel indie games are these days?

I play more indie games than AAA games, so very important.
This year so far: Resogun, Flow, Flower, Outlast, Plants vs Zombies, Broken age, FTL, Entwined, Fract OSC, Stanley parable, Child of light, Transistor, Pixeljunk shooter ultimate, Trine 2. vs 7 AAA games.
You simply don't find that much variation in AAA games.

You do realize that quite a few of those games you mentioned are not indie?

And as KLX said, it's not just those two types of games.

I guess they're not indie in the strict sense of the word. They're all $10-$20 downloadable titles, and they have taken over from the $60 B tier games. Maybe Dynasty warriors 8 is a B-title game? I don't know of any others this gen. MotoGP 14? Where have the new B-tier games gone, the fun action adventure platformers.
