I posted this to discuss the pros and cons of both genres.
Anything else you want to add? Feel free to post a reply
Enjoy
Mainstream:
Pros: Larger community more effort is put into it due to it having a large audience Generally better graphics (Not always)
Cons: Bad community
More glitches
More flaws
Harder to get on the release date of the game (High Demand)
Easier to hack
Indie:
Pros: Smaller community so it has more mature people. Also the creator can actually hear what players want
Less hacking
Less glitches
Usually cheaper
Cons: Smaller community (Though indie games like Blockland have enough people)
Sometimes less effort into creating it
Conclusion: I play both but i like Indie games better
