Why is every indie game roguelike or roguelite now? It feels impossible to find an indie game that's not

because that's the easiest form of a game to make
before we had machines that can store libraries worth of information for decades, or indefinitely with some extra cost, every games was a roguelike (or rather, permadeath)
chess, pong, arcades, football are all roguelikes by the colloquial definition

Controlled randomization creates novel interactions for least effort.

disliking roguelikes is the sign of being a progression-brained MMO kid
adulthood is realizing that all games are roguellikes and the only lasting feedback they can have is the changes to (you)

Instance based games are easier to jump into. If you take a break from a longform game you might not even remember what you were supposed to do when you come back to it.

Roguelike games really killed most of my joy for indie games, it feels like the same now
