Why do Independent game developers make games that already saturate the market all of the time? You have your roguelike/roguelite bullethells which outnumber pretty much any other type of independent game. You have your artsy games with polygonal graphics and cellshading or something like that, which probably have no replay value and short run time. You have your intentionally bad physics games which are streamer/content-creator-bait. You have a lot of RPGs, but they are all action RPGs or in some other way stretching the purity of RPGs. Then you can throw card game elements into pretty much everything. Every genre out there has the same traits for almost every game when it comes to independent developers. They act like a straightforward game just does not work at all, but they are also just all copying each other. And perhaps the biggest problem with most of these games is that they have no message or spirit. It feels like independent games are forcing themselves to be a certain aesthetic and small set of genres and not much else. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about visual novels. They pretty much all just copy each other too, with either very small projects, or the same romance stories over and over again, although probably a lot more lesbian content in "the West". Or I guess they have those subversive stories like Doki Doki Literature Club or Hatoful Boyfriend.
