Indie gaming is larger than ever. Mini studios set up in apartment bedrooms are turning into multi million dollar companies and creativity from these developers is astounding. Many indie games are very similar to old school. Many indie games are very similar to old school titles but a lot of them are cleverly developed with fresh ideas that give a new spin in nostalgia for many old school gamers. Some even say that indie developers are a godsend as we see many titles very similar to their predecessors. It's shooter this, racer that, rinse and repeat.

People that talk crap about indie games just becuse they're indie are just narrow minded people that can't open themselves up to all kinds of gaming experiences.
I love indie games. My only issue with Indie games now is that they're all starting to look the same. There's indie games following the same style as others over and over again. You know the type...
