If the parent's main point is that indie game developers, on average, don't make tons of money, he's right: https://twitter.com/GreyAlien/status/1227557601786912769

I was hoping for something more descriptive I guess. Steam used to be much pickier about which games were allowed on the platform. Now it's anything goes, and there's a lot more lower quality games on it, that sell for under $5,have no marketing budget, and just kind of look bad.

The indie games I've played all seem to have little news posts about 1 million copies sold. So... what's the return on an indie game of 2012 indie game quality?
