Yes. Independent developers have regularly released smash hits like Stardew Valley.

And how many dozens of indie games came out that same week whose studios folded afterwards? Or how many devs didn't even release their first games because they ran out of money during development? Or how many smaller studios who were making fun games got irresistible offers from big studios to buy them out? What about the engines that are becoming increasingly more hostile towards devs?
