This author has no fucking clue that the indie gaming industry exists.

Like Balatro... you know, the fucking Indie Game of the Year, that was also nominated for Best Game of the Year at the Game Awards.

Localthunk was able to build this in Lua... WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!

This article wasn't about indie games.

Ignoring indie games here is ignoring the answer to the entire premise. It's part of the equation.

It would be like complaining that there's no place to see big cats, while not mentioning the zoo at all.

I'm sorry sir, but I'm not an indie dev. I need to show the investors that my game will earn $100 million otherwise it's a failure.
