    I think you're totally right. There's definitely an indie golden age going on rn. So many games and so many all time greats.

    I think how we got here is the ubiquity of tools like Unity and Godot that made game making possible for smaller or individual devs. As well as the diminishing returns of better graphics and or intensive games.

    What I'm really interested in is seeing his this golden age will end. I think we're seeing the beginnings of it. Different indie developers have grown and some have started not just developing but also publishing. I have to imagine we'll see a conglomeration of indies behind just a few major indie publishers.
