Player agency: how policy constrains it, how the industry shapes it, how narrative design realizes it.

Sakigarasu's Take
The list opens up more entry points for players, but it also hands the work of discovery back to them: you have to make choices based on genre, time, and personal interest. The value of indie games is not that every one of them is worth playing, but that players can still step outside the fixed exposure route dominated by a small number of major releases.
