Do I appreciate a good indie as much as a good Triple A? - No, an indie will never achieve the greatness of a great AAA, just because of production values and scale.

This is an interesting misconception, since being indie is not influenced by amount of money poured into it. A rich man can do an indie game with AAA value.

Ok, I'll give you that. But then this whole thread doesn't make sense, because most of the hate indies get are because of their smaller scope, simple graphics - just being "cheaper" than a AAA. The fact that's made by an independent studio is not really relevant.

So just to be accurate: "A small budget title (what an indie title is 99 times out of 100) will never achieve the greatness of a great big budget AAA title"
