Your inability to do that doesn't make it any less of a truth that making cutting edge games simply requires more and more resources and people as time goes on.
NO!This is NOT a truth, for the reasons the article outlines: as tech and tools get better, fewer people can create more and more in less and less time.
What part of this don't you understand?
It's RELATIVE. Anybody can shit out a Mario clone nowadays, but back then it was cutting edge. So yes, the tools are better, but a bigger budget studio with more money and people with those same tools is going to blow the pants off 3 guys making an indie game.
Show me where a Destiny or a Fallout 4 or a Farcry type game is coming from a small studio.
