> Games made by passionate small dev teams that really love what they are doing will still produce indie success hits.

If there's 5 indie games that fit that description, people can easily enjoy, & more importantly, remember them.

What happens when 20, 30, 50 games fit that description? There's no way no good games fall through the cracks. The amount of games developed in a year increases while people's retention remains constant.

Of course there might always be exceptions but I doubt that games like Stardew Valley or Papers, Please! could fall through the cracks.. but who knows.

I think there is a general saturation problem. I won't have the time to play 20, 30 or even 50 games a year. I don't need more games but better ones (in general.. there are of course great games).

That's the neat part of it all. They fall through and you don't know unless you spend a good amount of time digging yourself. Or finding a similarly aligned curator who dig for you.

In other words, all games you liked were good. But you haven't played all good games.
