I think the worst is behind us with the crowdfunded crap. People are more cautious after seeing quite a few flops in various genres.

Personally I think the video game industry is about to be reborn so to speak. Like Baler said, it has definitely lacked passion in recent years. People know this and that is why they've been willing to help fund indies. Eventually some games will release from passionate developers and it is going to really show up these AAA paint by numbers games we've been plagued with for nearly a decade.

Have to say the first big kickstarter release with Shroud of the Avatar has been something of a flop. I expected better things from British, but I'm honestly not surprised. His vision and the game he ended up making were two very different things. He wanted to make a multiplayer successor to Ultima, but the fans tried to warp it into an Ultima Online sequel. You can really see where his vision ends and the pleas from fans began.

I think Pantheon and Crowfall are going to be two games that really break from the mold and show people what a passionate indie team can produce. Also looking forward to Saga of Lucimia. And this is relevant, because all 3 are using Unity!
