Indie Game Exam Question 3 (FINAL) (Gaming)

As others have suggested, being free from an established publisher frees you from certain expectations. Whether or not you take advantage of this freedom has nothing to do with your circumstances, but with your quality as a designer.

I believe this is demonstrably false. Kickstarter should free indie developers up the most, because they don't even have to worry about return on investment. But what games are getting funded through kickstarter? Retro, utterly traditional games that take few risks.

If anything you have more to lose if your game fails as an indie!
