I'm probably in the minority as a person who got into indie-gaming when they were still a stupid young person. As a result, I was in a series of long-running indie games that were sometimes a little stupid. Most of which fizzled out instead of dying due to players getting incredible jobs 2000 miles away because when do stupid young people get good jobs?
I hereby propose a counter theory: Everyones opinions of indie rpgs are inflated due to the fact when you're playing them, you're not a stupid young person playing the game with other stupid young people.
And by a stupid young person, I don't mean 6-year olds, 6 year olds can be totally awesome, I mean that awkward teenager time.
