It seems like fairly often on various forums I run into people claiming that you can't make a game without a large sum of money (like $100,000) to hire a team and start a studio. I fail to understand where this logic comes from. I mean, the indie scene is known for it's innovative gameplay. I've bought several indie games that didn't have the nicest artwork, or the benefit of several programmers, that were very fun and made by one person (with maybe some of the artwork contracted). Why does just sitting down and making games seem to be something that isn't advised as much anymore? Just something that has been bugging me, and i'm curious to see what the answers are.
