MORE NONSENSE !
Without the indie market made of very small software houses and single freelancers there would be no Unreal Engine 4 with just a 5% fee , no Unity at cheap price, no CryEngine… And Steam wouldn’t have been the huge financial success that it is now.
There would be no marketplace for Unreal Engine and other engines either.
Everything would have remained like it was before … which means medium and big software houses with plenty of money able to rent/buy very expensive professional 3D Engines licenses and that’s it.
And the App Store by Apple wouldn’t exist either.
