I think indie games take creative risks, which is quite rare for big studios. Indie game developers also focus on unique gameplay, and connect closely with their communities.

I think if a indie game is super creative it really draws crowds in. Also it's super impressive to see these indie companies make games that can compete with triple A titles! Indie studios often have less employees.
