So you only play indie games?
Pretty much.
More specifically, I only play new games that I can pay the author for directly. That tends to be pretty indie.
And then I play a crapload of abandonware.

So you only play indie games? Because that’s basically the only way you avoid “companies doing lousy stuff.”

More and more lately, but not exclusively. I have an increasingly long list of things that are deal-breakers for me, and I haven’t run out of stuff to play.

If there’s any time playing only indie games is viable it’s now. We’ve had high quality indie releases outpacing how fast you can play them for a few years now.

Especially on PC. Also, people forget that Indie doesn’t necessarily mean “made by a small team/low budget”. It just means it was produced by a studio that isn’t at the behest of some massive corperation/faceless number crunching shareholders. CD Projekt Red is an independant studio, as is Valve.
Also, some games are developed independently by small studios, but then marketed and published by a larger company. Devolver is an example of a publishing house with an excellent track record of just letting the indie dev teams they work with do whatever they want.

CD Projekt is publicly traded.

Yup. I tend to like Annapurna published games.
