"2.) Did anyone even try to assert that a one-man indie game that's a couple of years old could out google the name recognition giant of the hobby?"
No. That was me that Alnag was arguing with over at RPGnet. I made a point that there is a pretty extensive network of indie gamers, that there's internet presence (in the form of boards like the Forge and Story-Games) as well as con presence, and even brick 'n mortar game stores like EndGames in the Bay Area selling the books. Alnag came back with "Oh yeah, well D&D's player network is bigger." Which is, y'know, obvious, and totally not in contention.
I also in that thread made what I felt was a pretty cool comparison between indie gaming and Ani Difranco's music career.
