Indie devs have been there forever. Can't compete on the AAA features? Compensate with interesting art and smart tech.

At this point, to me, "AAA" features means it's full of microtransactions, predatory marketing, and lootbox gambling.

And innovative gameplay too. Large companies are too afraid to try new things, and all the games feel like the same rehashed mechanics with a fresh coat of paint... but indie developers are much more willing to try new, interesting concepts.
