> "For those of us that don't care for the latest FPS or Battle Royale, the games industry is going perfectly fine."
As players, for those who care about these AAA games, it is perfectly fine too. Better than fine, it is great.
The argument of the OP is that the industry is not fine. And I think that includes indie developers. It is not an easy industry to be in. Lots of stress, uncertainty, and failure for indie developers. Take a look at how hard is to make a good game after a successful Kickstarter campaign.
If you, as a player, only care about the couple of indie games that are great and don't care what's going on behind the scenes with the thousand of indie developers that are struggling, that's fine. But that's not the point of the OP
