> I guess that points to how unbelievable hard it is for independent game developers to survive I thought companies like Bungie, Bioware, etc. sold out. i.e. it's easy to survive if you make blockbuster titles like Halo or Mass Effect, but then a big corp comes by and offers mega bucks to buy you and so you sell out. The solution if you don't want to be "under the thumb of [a] corporate overlord" is to not sell out in the first place.
