    Indie devs want to make a game they themselves actually want to play. They’re usually massively more open to user feedback and generally aren’t weighing that feedback against profitability.

      Yeah. AAA higher-ups are very rarely gamers or actually interested in playing video games. They’re just business people who I think mostly want to chase the profitable trends and recreate whatever successes they had in the past under projects with actually decent leadership.

      Indie devs also generally aren’t concerned with stretching the runtime out over return limits or in a way that will prevent people from reselling the game.
