    You remind me of sarcasticgamer. But now you're worse. He actually said a few indie games were good.

    I agree actually a lot of them are good but what I don't get is the need to bring down every big game.

    He didn't bring down all the big games. He didn't say GTA sucked. He said that big companies can release big brand, high graphical quality, and polished games. Then he said Indie devs cannot hope to compete with that so they go with 'fun' and replayability (hence minisquadron lasting 5 years).
    Sorry but I don't see where he brought down every big game. All I saw was you bring down every indie game.

    Even if he did bring down every big game, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" and "Two wrongs don't make a right".

    That makes sense, and so how would the market go down, if they are already providing us free games?

    I was wondering if you'd like a list of indie games that came out complete, and not at an "alpha" stage.

    Well it's true. Everytime I see someone bashing indie games as a whole I think "sarcasticgamer!".

    Would you like to give me a list of the indie devs or games that I bashed so I can give you a reason why I bashed them!

    What's your definition of 'indie'? One man team, two man team? Cuz then I could help.

    BUT WAIT THERES MORE: Remember MC: Sandstorm? There was an update for that adding multiplayer which in your point of view should've already been there since it's not an indie game. Which is pathetic I recall you saying.

    I'm saying it won't go down - but big developers won't be able to take over either.

    Sandstorm is pretty much complete as a Single player game.

    You bashed indie games collectively as a whole (redundant I know).

    Perhaps I read it wrong, but I thought that the OP's premise was that big companies and the upcoming release of the Tablet will combine to make for a bleak outlook on the app store.

    Good list and that makes up for about .00001 % of the whole Indy library. Congrats though but I reckon there are about a game or two in your list that is in need of an update.
