So are indie games, notgames, and Minecraft all not real for you? Reserving the term "modern games" to only "ridiculously expensive projects" and dubbing the rest "not real" is... just one point of view. What's interesting to me is the fact that makers of indie and notgames, that do not require the enormous scale and pushing the hardware and programmers to their limits - they often make them for Windows, too!

The highest percentage of PC-gamers can be found (at the moment) on Windows. Ergo, you will write Windows games and use libraries Indie game developers want to reach the largest audience as well, so I don't see the difference. Additionally, the fact that Windows has such a high marketshare among consumers means that it likely has a high marketshare among indie game developers from the get go.
