I'm not upset, I just hate generalizations especially concerning indies in the field. Sure there is a lot of shit and trolls producing shit that ruin indie games as a whole but one earnestly created game, not even a good game by my preferences, is good enough for me to ignore that.

You have developers taking huge risk and making unreasonable personal sacrifices to just to develop and produce a game that they stake thier livelyhoods on, only for it to be wholly dismissed entirely by blanket generalizations because of some asshole who put up a flappy bird clone.

In reality, you have indie developers who are full fleged studios developing a game for whatever reason, as long as they put enough heart in it don't care what their real motives are, being grouped together with Cynical hobbiyist who've decided to jump on the bandwagon and sell their crappy software for a price. That's not indie, that's hobbiyist.

Not to mention, its basically the only way to get in the industry and actually design a game, go to school for game design and I guaratee you are gonna spend your time being an artist or a programmer for small sections of a AAA game, on the long line of credits someone might see if they pay attention.

Real Indie developers do it for two reasons, to either escape the trappings of triple AAAs as many legend developers, and I use legend loosely, like Molyneux, Levine, Fish, and Inafune... or to break in to the industry and start up a studio that can hopefully grow.

If they had investors who let them do whatever they want I'm sure the "real" indies would become the new AAs.

I think its pretty entitled and arrogant to dimiss earnest developers because of cynical and frankely destructive assholes.

Im also trying to start up as an indie dev, and get to the magical place that Micheal has worked hard to achieve.

Thusly, it hate it, I understand it, but I don't forgive it.
