It wasn't the lack of mainstream-ness what made me love indie games. Well, only if by "mainstream" you mean "cinematic AAA hardcore masterpieces".

What changes for you if indie games become more mainstream?

Just keep making games.


That is, unless you only wanted to make games because you thought you were "COOOL" or "SPECIAL"... in which case I recommend a healthy dose of growing up.

Well, people who make games for money are obviously sellouts.

You could always make some artgames each with couple of page explanation how it describes the meaning of life in abstract modern life context.
