I was very depressed when I read veteran indie game developer Jeff Vogel's column on RPGVault, claiming that independent games makers aren't the key to unlocking innovation in the games industry. Sigh.
From the horse's mouth:
These games are worthy and fun and contain innovation, yes. But incremental innovation. Not the new thing, but the clever twist on the old. In other words, the same sort of innovation that the big, corporate world regularly provides. And the sort of innovation you'd better get used to, because it's just about all you're ever going to get from now on.
Is he just a depressed developer, distraught after years of beatings from major publishers? Please - someone out there who knows - say it ain't so!
