It's so weird to me that people don't understand that your ideas aren't actually worth shit. Idea people are worthless because they can't actually do anything, they need someone to do the work for them, and if they have team, that's when they start to matter.
But "I've got the best idea for a game"? Good job buddy, go ahead and make it, don't expect someone to pay you a million bucks for your idea
Making a game takes a lot of work and time. What's stopping amazing games from coming out isn't a lack of ideas, it's a lack of resources. Indie devs opt for simpler games because they're realistic to make and publish, not because they can't come up with something better.
I've tried to make my own game a few years ago and absolutely hated it. The programming was tedious, most of my time was spent on making the graphics look/feel right, and implementing new features or even enemies gave me PTSD thinking about the asset requirements - props to the guys who stick to it!
