GTA 6 fans don't "go around buying nerdy niche" games, indie says, so fellow devs don't really need to get out of Rockstar's way
"I'm pretty sure that's not the GTA audience," says Falconeer creator Tomas Sala
GET OUT! is a strategy-casual indie title released in early 2021 for PC. Recent gaming discourse has touched on the broader indie landscape, with coverage examining how major publishers like Nintendo and Rockstar dominate player attention. One developer involved in the conversation noted that GTA's audience and indie game players tend to occupy different market segments, suggesting there's room for smaller studios to thrive without direct competition from AAA franchises. The wider point being made across coverage is that larger publishers would benefit from experimenting beyond their established franchises, while indie developers shouldn't feel pressured to abandon their niches in response to big-budget releases.
