How important do you feel indie games are these days?

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.

There are more of those B-List games, but sadly some overestimate their value (Murdered: Soul Sacrifice, which at $40 would have fared much better). I would say Sniper Elite is one, most JRPGs and similar, most superhero games are not AAA, Disney and other movie tie-ins. (Spiderman recently)

Some, like Dead Island and Metro, started as B, but were successful enough to warrant a budget bump to AAA.

So, there is choice, even for those that despise big budget behemoths.

That is very true, I would buy more of them if they come out at $40. I would have bought MotoGP 14 and Sniper elite at $40. Some don't bother to release worldwide, I imported WRC 3 from Europe, tired of waiting for it to come over to NA. It's the fun B-tier platformers that I miss, like Majin and the forsaken kingdom and Sphinx and the cursed mummy.
