Bubble has already popped IMO. Been making indie games since 2007 myself. This years PAX East was just insane at least 120+ indies all showing off their games. Compare this to the first PAX where it was barley 30 indies. Couple this with the insane amount of games released on Steam every day now (10+ indie games just today). There is just too much competition and not enough of the pie to go around.

We are seeing small sect of the indie community starting to pull away from everyone else in terms of media coverage and awareness. (Klei, Vlambeer, Capy) They are amazing developers and deserve the recognition its just becoming a deeper and deeper pool every day.

I've played with Google Music for quite some time and while its a really great service I have one major gripe... Data Usage!

For some reason Google Music will use almost 2.5x the amount of data that Pandora or Spotify use on my phone. (Keep in mind this is with Background data and High quality streaming turned OFF!)

In this mobile data cap / throttle world that we live in I can't afford to have my music app use more than 2gb of a data a month!
