Only "gamers" care about games being Indie

Here is the problem with indie: Do i buy a discounted AAA or niche japanese game or for the same price i get a small game?

For me the choice is clear. I am getting more value on the discounted game. I have yet to buy an indie game, but there are a few that interest me. But most of the barrage of uninteresting games i dont even blink at.

to that same regard I don't buy every retail game as at least half of them hold no interest to me or I think are crap... Brink comes to mind...

meanwhile there are some indie games that I look forward to very much and are well worth the money for me, such as Transistor

I agree. There are some that look interesting and are worthwhile. Bastion and transistor fit on that group.

Its the rest that ends up giving it a bad rep. That and the barrage of 2D platformers and shooters. I mean cmon... there is a limit to how many of those people can stomach, and with Nintendo right there offering the best of them on the Wii U and 3DS, its a difficult sell.
