Exit through the gift shop. A tale about the commoditisation of what people thought was art. This is that. Indie game devs are the legions of graffiti artists whose purity and form will never pay the bills, regardless of how superior their underlying passion or technique is. Because money don’t care.

Can people not make games that are not intended to sell much? Like Passage (2008), Escape from Woomera (2004) etc, i.e. games that have a political or artistic purpose.

I ask this as someone who doesn't play video games (never played any of these so called "Art Games").
