I think the problematic part is Indie does not MEAN anything unless it in context.
If you know games you know the credits for Triple-A games run to the thousands. So, 30 people working on a game might STILL be indie. But, so would a game made by 15 people, or a game made by three people. What if a game made by 30 people has a 1 million dollar budget, but a team of 15 people (half the staff) has a 5 million dollar buget? How do you assess that, or should you?
What is small budget? What is small team? What is Indie? What is Triple-A vs anything else...Single-B or Indie, or basement project by one coder? Are you Indie if you use Unreal Engine? Are you Indie only if you code your own development software? Are you indie if you use purchased assets?
Oblivion was the first western RPG I had played in decades when it came out. I played 100% of the main story and completed 95% of the side quests - I played the game. It was wrong and I attributed its flaws to being big. How wrong I was...
But, lets be blunt, Bethesda and ZeniMax are TERRIBLE companies. I mean irremeably bad - they are swindlers, thieves,...brigands. They do not know how to make a working games that isn't bug rident and rushed. There is evident corporate greed and then there is ZeniMax. I would not touch their games with a 10' pole anymore.
This analysis is based on what exactly? Its certainly not based on the last TWENTY-FOUR years of Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft all competing in the same market. Does this analyst even believe their own analysis - because I do not think they do. This seems like headline making to just stir a pot.
Its cheaper than a SCUF. So, yeah, nobody that was no already in the market for a high end controller will be buying one. What people buy who are in the market for $200+ controllers are who will decide...no these common crumb-crushers who whine about $70 controllers.
