Mr indie vs the world

December 26th, 2005 Posted in general

I don’t like the attitude of some indies, which think they are “alone vs the world”. In other words, those who always says that the games from big software houses are all crap, while indie games are all cool.
The truth is that there are less great games around in the commercial market because is more risky to try to innovate. Nonetheless, there are some great games around that deserve respect.
One of them is Civilization IV. I am playing it right now. When I hear comments like “ah well is… just civilization” (like saying the same old story) I laugh.
That game is simply awesome, one of the best I’ve ever played.
Those who say that, are just jealous because they aren’t the creator of that superb game!
