Indie gaming's only three genres have inevitably converged into grimdark Balatro with a whimsical egg idiot

I know they are only making a silly joke but "three genres" is exactly why I have a general distaste for indie games. Card games are lame and resource gathering/crafting sucks.
There are thousands upon thousands of indie games with neither of those mechanics...
I am now imagining a happy future where all indie games star Harrison Ford searching for lost treasure in some way...
wait a sec this could be great I'd better write this down and never make it like all the other game ideas! :)
LOL, love it.
It sounds like you haven't had much exposure to them? In order my last 5 played indie games are: -4 player coop rock climbing -Cozy Horror game where you're alone doing menial tasks in the Swiss Alps, there are also aliens -Oldschool roguelike adventure -Shoot goblins and cultists -Logic puzzle akin to Minesweeper
Yes of course, how dare I have my own opinion.
I must have just not played any of the indie games in my Steam/GOG collection and instead made it all up.
