Honestly I feel like that’s just the gaming industry in a nutshell

It’s the AAA gaming industry, save for a few studios.

Indie and independent games are getting better and better.

Kind of. The problem is that it’s not a good long term thing for the industry. It’s like indie films. You’ll have one director make some highly acclaimed thing. Sometimes they might make a few but most just have one thing and drop off the map.

You need AAA for the funding to push the tech. To push what’s capable and have the big budgets. I don’t want to play games without AAAs out there.

You don't need tech to create a good story and an engaging gameplay loop.

Zero Company, Blood of the Dawnwalker, Endacopia, Mr Sleepy Man, Moldrise, Denshattack, Poco, Öoo, Resident Evil Requiem, Esoteric Ebb, Midnight Walk, Carimara: Beneath there Forlorn Limbs, Silent Hill F, Discopup

All games I thoroughly enjoyed in the past year or so for story, game mechanics, or unique art style. There are so many great games coming out all the time.

As has been demonstrated by nearly 50 years of video games. Some of the very best would all fit onto a single CD.
