A large fraction of computer games are mostly still "desktop apps".

Lots of single person indie success stories there, such as "Papers please" or "Stardew valley".

Seminal example in this genre is probably Minecraft (which of course expanded to a team before acquisition).



I don't know how much longer this will last given stadia and xcloud. I've been playing on them and if they improve over 5 years' time, I could really see them becoming the standard.


Stadia won't be around in 5 years, it's a Google product.


I've read that they're white labeling the tech. So it won't be "Stadia" but it will probably still be around.
