it is out of question that there's no accounting for tastes
However you are wrong when saying that everybody can make a simple "cube and textures " game
As usual a game for you is only graphics
In my opinion what really matters is the gameplay
Nowadays everybody can develop a game with decent graphics , thanks to the modern editors and the literaly thousands models and scenes which are available on the web
The main problem , particulary at an Indie level, is to find an originl idea for your gameplay as well as to have the programming skill to turn your idea into a code (templatea are not enough )
