Epic Games' design director Cliff Bleszinski was speaking on a GDC panel today, and in his address he had some advice for aspiring indie developers.
Bleszinski's advice is simple; if you want more control over your own future, you need to develop games for the PC. This sound guidance (reported by Kotaku) comes during a period of thriving activity in the indie scene, and developers would do well to take heed.
Here's what he had to say:
"Xbox Live and PSN, skip both of them because you're at Sony or Microsoft's will as to what's on the dashboard. iOS, maybe but you have to have Apple's approval, there's too much piracy on Android, no one has a Windows phone, Kickstarter's wonderful, go Tim Schafer. I would go with the PC."
