Well, considering “wanting to get paid” is the reason AAA gaming has gone to utter ass over the course of the last two decades ^(I legit cannot believe that Horse Amor, the first major, cosmetic-only microtransaction, was 2006, spelling the beginning of the end for AAA gaming…)^ I believe that having Indies be dominated by people who are in it for the sake of making something great instead of just getting paid is why they are having a boom in quality products.
Would be even nicer if we didn’t have an economy that arbitrarily restricted access to resources based on imaginary tokens of perceived value so that people could create quality works without needing to fulfil an arbitrary profit incentive.

Yeah but wouldn’t it be nice if they could pay their bills without having to work another job. Isn’t creating a game worth something?
