    Triple I as in triple Indie? That’s cute as hell, I love it. I’m all for III over AAA.

    As a budding game developer, watching mobile games dominate all the game awards is so incredibly frustrating.

    My first game award, I watched those Farmville motherfuckers take award after award, while amazing indie games are given lip service but not the trophy.

    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.
