Indie developer and large corporations like Nintendo are not fungible. Anyway, indie developers chose their plight. Most of them don't really make money so it's pretty clear they don't do it trying to strike rich. Plenty fund themselves through means which are not linked to copyright like kickstarter.
The fact that the system currently relies on copyright is not in itself a justification for it nor does it means it's a good system.
- timwaagh 3y agoTons of people do things that might one day make money while not actually ever making money. For me that's an indie game. But that kind of mostly unrewarded labour won't be done if getting paid one day relies on, essentially, begging. Speaking for myself I would rather spend my time on something that benefits me in that case, like a gym or a cooking class.
