Well, I can agree with you fastlane, actually I have seen this tendency all over the world, not just in the gaming community - Indie is becoming the new Mainstream. It's hard to explain, but my point is, that it still hasn't happened in Latvia, mostly because we still have no Mainstream game companies. Sad, but true.
Also, in Latvia an INDIE is considered to be an individual, who creates games on his spare time, maybe MODs other games, etc. In my case, it is best not to be marked as an Indie developer.
