AAA game just like indie can succeed and can fail not all indies games would sold like Angry Bird if a studios has a good expectation of how the game will do it will not make them lose money Activision will spend  500 millions not because they need to spend all these money but because they know the games will sold very well there many new AAA games who sold well like Watch dog and The last of us

Fixed.

Buy what you like and ignore what you don't.

Problem solved.

No need for threads and rants and opinion pieces. At all.

Shocking logic ;) Agree.

Yes, but if we thought that way, how would we explain the fact that some consoles are selling so bad? We must ignore logic.

No, the market was oversaturated with games 60 € or $ in consoles, and 45 in hanhelds. If someone bought a game per month, it would have spent 720 € $/ year in consoles, plus machine plus controllers or other accesories, plus online if you used a PS360, plus DLC and expansions... Granted if you bought on Steam or other digital service you could buy cheaper games, but you need to spend a lot on computer hardware. That is a lot of money. Indie games are succesful because they are priced way more competitively than other AAA games, plus their costs are much less than others and because they usually don't need much specs to work, can appear on every platform possible. If they cam provide the same experiences than AAA (in a time when AAA became really expensive to produce and a lot of companies are suffering because of it), i see no reason why Indies can thrive in the gaing market. Plus we need indies to compete with the main developers (Minecraft is the new Tetris, and wins more money than whole companies).

On the other hand free to play games are different. If they are not abusive like pay to win or pay to continue (timewalls), the number of players in there and easy access guarantees to attract a big number of customers, and some of those will suppport the game.

This is basically my opinion as well.

Indies make many of the games I want to play. They aren't all great by any means but that's true of games with a far bigger budget.

Big budget games all seems to circle around the similar types of experience. Indies enrich the video game landscape.

I would rather buy a 60$ games with great gameplay graphics then paying 15$ for a basic indie game

I cannot understand what you are trying to say.
