What is with the sudden anti indie game shilling recently? Why are indie games supposedly bad now?

Gaben killed high-effort idie market with greenlight, now it's more like a gamble on memes, trends and streamerbaiting

Because they're all trend chasing hacks filled with asset store and cheap contractor shit anyway.
Being indie doesn't get you brownie points anymore after they collectively decided to spam the market with so many tens of thousands of zero effort garbage dumps that make the '83 crash look like the standard for quality.

And? The alternative music industry died after the telecommunications act of 1996 and hasn't recovered since

big game corpos were threatened by how well indies were doing at the last games convention or whatever and have started a smear campaign against them for not having enough dei positions

No, that anon is right. Even outside of 4chan, there's hardly any indie games to discuss, because the worthwhile ones never get discussed since they never reach critical mass to find out, only fotm shit is being spammed on the daily because that's what retards like you buy.
