[citation][nom]airborne11b[/nom]Indie pc games might be great for casual gamers with dated pcs, light laptop/tablet/smartphone games, and stuff like that, but big companies like ea make the serious games hardcore gamers and pro gamers like myself want to play. Hell, i own Plants vs Zombies on 3 different platforms, and games lile osmos and trine are fun, but indie is never going to make games like BF3, crysis 3, Tera, Aliens:CM, etc. This stupid minecraft dev thinks he's so special, im still waiting for him to make a serious pc game. Then he'll earn real respect.[/citation]
They'll never make a game like Crysis or Battlefield? Never you say?
Wait until the end of this year. You haven't seen anything yet. The indie scene is working on it. Developers are jumping ship from the big companies and starting their own businesses. Notch helped prove how possible and lucrative such an endeavor is. EA, as usual, is trying to hijack the successes of other and act like a locust consuming everything in its path.
Besides, I know I personally have derived more enjoyment from every indie title I've purchased than what I've gotten from BF3. That game is a train wreck with its broken weapons of the patch, disconnects, balance issues, vehicle bugs, and ridiculous laundry list of unlockables. BF3 and Sim City 4 were the last two games I've purchased from EA. I won't be purchasing anymore. It's not worth the hassle anymore.
