True, Kickstarter kindda unbalances my black-and-white point. (Not that it doesn't stand. Most Flash-game developers are exactly what I described.)

I guess you're expecting me to say that independence means the developer doing whatever the hell they want, without any risk of getting budget cuts or getting fired or what-not. However, people these days are naturally inclined to follow trends, even if obscure ones, so they're never truly independent in that sense.

Also, it's not like most people with good ideas have money to spare to pay for a team to make it work by him/herself. They usually have to ask for financing and whoever pays, always has some nudging power, even if only in the developer's subconscious.
