Do you actually buy all these indie games that come out?

The indie scene has definitely grown out of control and feels unchecked with just how much garbage clutters the digital marketplace and daily deals. They've even made certain gaming events a little more boring to watch with how often some weird artistic hipster garbage pops up.

But overall, I can't really say its prominence bothers me much either. We've gotten so much great stuff from indie developers and studios over the years and with the way the industry has shifted, the indies have certainly filled the void of double A games which all the major studios just don't seem interested in investing in these days. They've also kept the retro experience alive and allowed for games like Sonic Mania, Streets of Rage 4, and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge to even exist.

I don't personally follow indie games closely, but if I ever catch wind of something that interests me, then I'll definitely pick it up like any other game that catches my interest. Stuff like Yooka-Laylee, Super Lucky's Tale, Ori and the Blind Forest, Little Nightmares, etc.
