Everyone mention Onwards as a great indie game, but interestingly fail to mention any more, particular since as Onward was released over a year ago. Having said that, of course Steam has some great games on it. It is a near monopoly (something its fanboys fail to see), and with 1000 games released in a month some of them have to be good right? Even for the Vive?

Steam is a hotbed of innovation you just have to ignore the chaff. Its similar to the cinema where 1 only out of 100 movies released is worth going to see. But if you only allowed showings of the biggest blockbusters you'd turn your back on some great budget movies that later fund bigger quality titles. Remember James Cameron and Pirahna?

Don't you expect to sell your INDIE game on Oculus Home? Won't they just laugh and say we only have quality games here? So you either go to Steam or sell on your own site right? How can you critisice the OP for trolling and needing serious phycology if Steam is the very path youre heading towards? Unless your game is going to be AAA in quality and pass Oculus's high quality control??? I just don't understand your logic unless you're not actually serious about your game and you are a complete fantasist?

This has to be a troll thread, either that or the OP needs serious psychological help lmfao 😄

A lot of it really depends on what you consider indie. Onward is clearly an indie title since it's done by just 1 guy I think. So no question about that one. But most of the quality titles are made by more than just one person, so the question then is "what is indie?" Is Asseto Corsa an indie game? Dead Effect 2 VR? What about IL2:BoS? How about Robo Recall? I don't think there is a clear line as to what constitutes indie, so it makes more sense to simply talk about good games vs not so good ones. Incidentally, all of those except Robo Recall I listed are good games not available on OH. Some other good ones are: DCS, Redout, Descent, Overload (very early access), War Thunder and likely many others that are good but aren't game types that interest me.

- Indie game, any game (video, board-based, or otherwise) published or produced outside mainstream means
So Robo Recall The Climb Lone Echo were all funded by Oculus which makes them not Indie.
