Yep. Indie games seem to get a pass because it's impossible for them to be mediocre because they're $10 indie games!
They can be great! I don't mind having indie games, but part of the reason I was told not to be mad when Sony made Plus mandatory for online play was because of what a great value Plus is, given all the free AAA on Ps3 Plus. An indie every month is fine, as long as we also get a AAA every month alongside it.
It's a fucking bait and switch. Make Plus awesome on Ps3, then once Plus is mandatory, stuff it with mostly cheaper to get indies. Oh and if anyone calls you out for it, people will criticize that person for "hating indies", or "is the game not fun if it was never sold at Wal Mart HURRR"
It's just not a great value to me if Plus is mostly going to be games I can get on Steam sale for next to nothing anyway. I was hoping for year-old AAA games. I didn't complain through most of 2014 because I understood that they couldn't give away brand new big budget titles. But now that the console is well over a year old, it's time damn it.
