I agree with you, as a 15yr old indie hacker that loves the CLI, I couldn't have said it any better. But the most interesting bit is that sooner or later, with the indie development companys gaining steam there is going to be a crash in the market, people cannot stand the fact that they pay £60 for a regurgitated version of last years game with *gasp* slightly better graphics and more DRM (look at diablo 3). That's why piracy is rife, because people are sick and tired of being taken for granted by big corps who (in most cases) don't even acknowledge the gamers!

There is going to be another gaming market collapse, very, very soon. and the indie devs are going to be the only ones left (apart from a few companys that manage to keep up [ID software]).
