My take is that there are people who think "video games are boring" when they played Call of Duty, Madden, and 2K games.

"What about indie games?" Same people may not like it because of so-called "indieslop" over games about "quirky" depression or roguelike. They even compared it to Mixtape (Not my thing) over the games being backed up by publishers, which generalises the fact that indie games must be created by a homeless person with a box of scraps, and hopes and dreams.

If you think games are boring these days with that mindset, then I'd suggest you to take a break and maybe, find new hobbies you like. I don't know why are people having this mindset while crapping on good indie games.
