Compared to movie standards, good indie games mostly end up being of student's film quality. Not good indie film quality, because game development still needs a lot of money. It's so saaaad. Back in the 80s one antisocial man, fourty cups of coffee and no sleep at all could program a kick ass and competitive game in a few weeks all on their own.
