Indie and Mobile Games

I realized that there hasn't been much talk about Indie and Mobile games. We're all gamers, so I'll ask this simple question:

Are indie and mobile games getting the recognition they deserve as of now? Or, do we continue to focus more on console games and games developed by larger companies?

Never understood the attraction of playing games on your mobile. Why would you want diminished sound and graphics? And what happens if you get a call? Do you have to shut down the game? Unless you're bored on the train or something, I don't see the point.

99% of us will prefer to play Skyrim over LIMBO... that doesn't means LIMBO is a bad game. In fact, I loved LIMBO more than some games that were developed by big companies.

I said LIMBO, but I can say Hard Reset, Minecraft, Tribes: Ascend...

I think that some are giving indie games too much credits.

I think the biggest problem right now is the sheer volume of indie and mobile games being released. It's tough to pick out which ones are actually good among all the crap. Also, real money item shops are far too ubiquitous. I paid for your game; stop hitting me up for more money.
