>Today, the indie market is incredibly saturated and prices are increasing.

Isn’t that the opposite of how that’s supposed to work?

At the top end of 'indie', dev (and marketing) budgets have increased massively, so these games demand a higher price.

Meanwhile, the overall number of indie games produced each year just keeps increasing, as tools improve and the barrier to entry lowers. And old indie games don't just disappear, the best ones are usually ported straight to each new platform that arrives, leaving their stores pretty saturated from day 1.

That's completely right. Fun fact: We're over 70,000 new indie titles per year already!
