All I know is that Linux for a long time was better supported by the Indie Game scene then the Triple A’s and I have been enjoying the Indie Games more then the Tripple A’s recently.

“The Game Awards’ official description of Best Independent Game says it is “awarded to a game with a higher degree of risk tolerance by its creators, produced outside of the traditional publisher system.” It’s a hedging description that dances around the vague aesthetic and economic attributes that gamers often ascribe to indie games: lower budgets, distinctive art and design, and less obvious commercialism.”
