Right but in this argument the onus is on you to find a game that should have been successful, but wasn't, due to the sheer volume of good games, not the other way around. You're making the argument that there lots of games that are polished and deserved some kind of success, and are inundated by other polished games. I'm arguing this simply isn't the case, and most indie devs that have complained about this have not made good, fun games.

Flaws or not, Vampire Survivors and Enter the Gungeon found a market because they were fun games that had some redeeming qualities that wasn't widely available on the market at the time. Other examples: Project Zomboid, Shovel Knight, etc.

Edit: still waiting on ONE game. Just one. Feel free to edit your comment with a game that deserves more recognition.
