I agree that most indie games out there are shit. I follow Cliffski from Positech Games and he's been pretty adamant about not following the race to the bottom if you think you're making quality games. Of course, different genres will have different acceptable price points: is it possible to make an arcade shooter worth $40? I've bought everyone of his games, and he's made enough that he's now his own indie publisher so there's definitely some successful models that don't comprise of pumping out buzzword laden games (Oh, another 8-bit, rogue-lite, zombie twin stick shooter?)
