You're forgetting it's very rare to be the popular indie when most are overlooked. Games like Minecraft or Star Citizen could give some hope until you realize it's the equivalent of winning the lottery to indie devs. Unless you get very high ratings or word of mouth most won't sell anything good unless it has really good marketing. When they make the deal they don't know the future so they just weigh everything and come up with a decision that they're comfortable with. Such is anything in life that you're not certain with and have to make compormises. 

Thanks for the name of the series, I apreciate it. 

Life is like winning the lotta in almost everything, some people spend their whole life devoted to a single part of their life and sometimes never achieve what they strived or what they worked for, same can and does happent o all sorts of devs, not just indie ones. Getting funded by a corp doesn't always mean guarnteeed success and acclaim either, especially not for the long term if we look at the long history of studios shut down by publishers and IP's left to rot or milked to death. That's also another reason why some games gain insane opularity because they actually worked for it, Undertale like I mentioned previously also happens to be a lot like Earthbound which of course Nintendo is hardly bothering with at all and someone else instead deicded to make their own game that also happened to inspire them and they got rewarded for it. Then of course Star Citizen not because Chris Roberts wanted to but because he saw the Space sim genre was being utterly dead and decided he wanted to bring it back in a big way and he more or less did because now we're seeing plenty of space and space sim games appearing on PC and again this is all without winning the lotto, those two strived and worked towards what they wanted to and gained fans trust/funding.

This is largely why I prefer the open market since it allows us to diversify what we want and get and how we go about funding it rather than a corp snatching up all the IP's and telling us that we have to grab their system in order to play it while also not allowing the market to diversify since it;s trying to control it, I like the open market because we get to decide what we want through many forms of cenveying just what we want.

Also No problemo, it's a good series (for being entirely flash based), the game however isn't much my cup of tea since trying it out 2 years back, maybe it's improved but it plays more or less like a version of Disgaea.
