Seeing the sheer amount of "but indies will save us" in response Mike's post has me feeling real... sad. I don't think people can truly understand how the things Mike is talking about effect the indie games that do get funded or the financial realities of self-publishing.
Game industry continues to be just incredibly bleak behind the scenes. Ecosystem is in free fall. Doubt there’ll be an easy solution, or a quick one. This darkest hour has dragged out to a darkest couple of years.
