I love indie developers, but yeah, going completely indie would be silly.
Yesh indeed. I still need to play Dustforce, but stuff like Frozen Synapse and Vessel are all so innovative and is what I love about indie games. Even Super Meat Boy, despite the basic gameplay concept being seen a hundred times before, manages to be new and refreshing and fun.
I wouldn't like a completely indie market, but I would just like commercial companies being more creative. It might be a risk, sure, but I mean all these unknown developers are getting famous from a single game (e.g. Jonathan Blow from Braid), a well-known company should have more chance of making a successful innovative game, right?
