I think it just makes it more "difficult" - that is, developers have to make a greater effort to stand out. I'll admit, I mostly buy games off Steam when they're cheap, and I've bought every bundle because it's cheap. But, I will buy a good indie game when I see it. Most recently, I preordered Dungeon Defenders full price and ended up satisfied. I won't go out and spend money because it's an indie game though. Dungeon Defenders caught my eye and persuaded me to take the plunge. In fact, it's probably because of the sales/bundles that I'm more open to purchase indie games now. I also helped fund Lifeless Planet and the NASA MMO, because the sales/bundles showed me the value of indie games. The "problem" is that indie developers have to work harder to get my attention now, either with an interesting premise (the Kickstarter games I mentioned) or interesting gameplay (Dungeon Defender).
