Successful indies helping out the indie industry is the only way it'll grow, a big award show that gets people's eyes is the kind of marketing most developers could only dream of. But they a really going to have to treat each nomination as a commercial, people need to be sold on these games
Assuming they don't just pick the devs that were already thinking of. If it's just that then it's probably pointless
The only way it will grow? Man, the indie scene was pretty much non existent 20 years ago and now it rivals major studios in number of concurrent players
Yeah, and it's pretty much hit a wall. Both because of massive oversaturation causing people to not be able to find new interesting things amongst the 100 new titles released daily, ans because indy studios can't find any funding at all anymore.
