Are indies going to save the games industry? No, it's not that simple. But experimentation is going to yield new ways to connect with audiences, for example, and experimentation is easier with small (i.e. indie-ish) projects.
I just wish I could afford to experiment.
@jzillw Indie developers will keep creative games and innovation alive.
They will not employ all the staff from failing corporate developers.
They are preserving and continuing the art, not saving the industry.
