Wall Street Journal on Indie Games
Wow. Suddenly being an indie gamer feels... sorta mainstream.

Joysticks and Easy Riders: The indie game movement echoes the personal cinema of the 1970s

My biggest amusement came from the quote from EA VP Robert Nashak. He states, "As new platforms emerge, it'll be indie game teams that take advantage of them."

This stands in stark contrast with the comment by another EA VP, Jeff Brown, who stated in 2005 that the cost of developing for the then-upcoming consoles was such that "It is now impossible to 'Blair Witch' this business."

What a difference three-and-a-half years can make.
