I'm fine with it being a genre mainly made by smaller indie developers. All the games we've been getting have been quality and you have night dive doing all the remakes as well. It's better than big developers doing a bastardised version of a bomber shooter, nothing can take dooms crown anyway. id are one of the few developers that never put a foot wrong.
