I watched this recently
Too much Cinderella; it's all an emotional ride through the lives of these starving artists who's games go on to be mega-successful. Interesting in ways, but it was too focused on the drama when I was hoping for a bit more of a more thorough exploration of the world of indie-games.

Haven't even watched it but ^this^
The 'journey' always takes the front of these largely pointless montages, thus hopefully making it strike home with emotionally weak cunts. It's the X Factor theory.

I saw it a few weeks ago and it annoyed me.
A bunch of self-entitled twats.
I'm of an age when some of the most popular computer games of the time were independently created by some geek in their bedroom who didn't think that the world owed them fame and fortune.

I was glad to see Edmund McMillen finally get some success
I used to play a lot of his games on Newgrounds; he's been making great stuff for a long time.
