Certainly some food for thought, but I feel like people saying indies will save us are saying that as consumers and a lot more selfishly. AAA is struggling to deliver interesting games and indies are killing it, so you play indie titles instead. Whether those indie titles are actually produced organically and whatnot is kind of secondary for that purpose. The mass layoffs in AAA are bad, but in the New York Times article, for example, they're mainly seen as indicative of the business model faltering, which should naturally give more room for indies. But yeah, that these studios are still horrendously profitable kind of shows that this may not be true in the end.
