This take sucks. There's a clear cap on what indies can do because they have a limited budget. Whatever their output is, it's not comparable to big studios output.
What the market lacks is quirky games on a medium budget, which's not what indie scenes provide.

Yeah, but how survivable is making indie games? Unless you make it big, you aren’t paying rent that way.

That’s why you need public funding to support and nourish the industry. We’ve got that in our state where we can get grants to start up studios. This allowed for studios such as Massive Monster to be created.
VC funding isn’t great because they can pull out if the project or investment doesn’t suit them. See League of Geeks.
