Do not underestimate indie Games.

          Indie games in other word, independent games are continued to increase their margin! Independent games do not receive any support from big companies such as Nintendo, Sony, etc. They are composed with a small group of the team and create games. These indie companies have huge disadvantages because they do not receive financial support from any company that causes less quality, and slow progress. However, these disadvantages cannot be obstacles because indie companies also make an evolution in their work. They started to create games with high creativity, using cheap programs such as "game maker, RPG Maker series" or adobe flash, unity 3D, UDK, etc. Due to their low development speed, they started to approach things that are easy to handle and flexible to create games. Now they can inform not only in PC platform but also in consoles such as PlayStation and Xbox and even in IOS and Android.

          In the early period, Indie Games and companies were having hardships to make a great success, earning lots of money from the customers. The population of the indie games were not shined compare today. Good indie games were hidden from other famous companies' games due to the low popularity. However, indie games were able to gain popularity from great successful games such as Minecraft, changing the atmosphere of the game industry. Indie companies started to use high graphic program software or develop a new software to create games. The continuous of popularity for indie games lead other companies such as STEAM (game distribution company) to put their games on the shop for selling to customers.

          The increasing popularity of indie games and their creatively influence other big companies such as Microsoft and Sony to put their eyes on indie games. Indie games were not underestimated as the time passes, but many people (customers or fans) think indie companies are not independent on making games. Many people dislike that indie games / companies are heavily relying on sponsors that make pre - advertisements( simply means they are getting investments system from other organization / company). Moreover, many indie games such as Minecraft were purchased by Microsoft. Due to their great success and popularity, many indie companies dragged over big companies for their prosperity of the game industry.

          Even though there are some problems with indie games, I think it is a great success. There are still lots of indie games/company who do not receive any financial support from other companies. They still protect their purity by only putting up their games on distributing company/sites to sell their products. Many indie games were able to prove themselves, independent game making shows great potential in the game industry.
