Indie Game Quality?

What doe the industry have to say about the quality of a game? 

Game design is widely considered as something very close to engineering. Something which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with ideas, problems, hopes or beauty.”

- Konstantinos

“There IS a noticeable lack of games that address more 'sensitive’ topics.” - Cassandra Khaw

“If you make something that's too personal, or something that approaches a controversial topic, you've pretty much damned yourself to a niche audience.” - Danny Cowan
