Decided to look back at the old Indie Directs to see how important they end up being to me personally. What I've found is that there is always at least one game that I either have played or I will most likely play in the future. However, there is never more than 2 games that fit this description. I also found it interesting that some of the games that I thought were in an indie direct, like Wargroove, were actually never in one.
In the end it seems like they have a so-so importance. I will probably find one game in there that I will eventually play. However they seem to miss 1/4 to 1/2 of the indie games that I end up playing. Probably what was even more useful was the "best sellers of 2019" video which came out at the end of last year. That does a good job of pointing out the indie games that you really need to consider.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
