Main problems with indies developing games is keeping the project real and knowing about the costs.
Money gets burned at very high rate when developing complex games.
Small developers should firs learn to develop shitty games.

Look also at Shenmue 3

Wow. 6 millions $.
Well, it is nothing. And I know the are having trouble. Maybe they will need to get another 6 millions from somewhere else.

Developing is not easy.

This is the EXACT SAME PROBLEM I had all through my game design courses. Completely unrealistic expectations about what could be done coupled with people who couldn't even grasp the basics of architecture.

Personally, I have always been a problem-solver first, and actually find working within constraints  kind of exhilarating. Sure, its great to have pie-in-the-sky dreams, but if you can't tell the difference between whats easy and what's next to impossible, then the odds are you'll end up going towards impossible.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.
