The Cargo Cult of Game Mechanics (Destiny)

I loved Faster Than Light. I played Super Meat Boy for hours. I find Cortex Command to be demeaningly enjoyable. But I don't think you and I are finding common ground here because I think you want things from this industry that I don't. I also don't think you'll change your mind or entertain other lines of thought.

None of those games are even close to the peak of their respective genres, nor did they drive anything industry wide. You can love them, but there are many NON indie offerings that are BETTER, and often significantly so.
