The narrow economic point about it being hard to sell a new game might make sense as a warning to new indie developers, but everything else is an unhinged luddite rant against how people want to spend their free time. There is not some pool of labor that would otherwise be fixing infrastructure or building whatever the author happens to think is worthwhile if only it wasn’t being squandered on personal projects. He might as well go on a rant against the number of puzzles or ship in a bottles being built. There will always be tons of bad art and thats absolutely fine.
