A lot of indie games aren't much better, to be honest.
Look at the indie market right now.
Look at the GIGANTIC percentage of angry birds clones or other game clones or """retro""" """8-bit""" indie games that are flooding the market.
Look at...
well, this.
Nobody wants more gritty faux-retro mario clones yet they're still being pumped out at a crazy rate.
The very issue with the open indie market is just that; it's open to anyone.
With the market being flooded by legitimately awful games, you basically have to wade through an ocean of shit just to find one gem of an indie game. Most people don't want to invest the time or energy to look for something good.

I don't even actively look for these things.
