Wargaming Resurrected As Indie Gaming Staple?

Thanks to DIYGames.com for their editorial discussing why PC wargames, formerly a mainstream genre, have been reborn in "the quiet and underground world of online marketing and word of mouth." The author points to companies such as Battlefront and HPS as offering good-quality indie wargaming, and suggests that "Wargames tend to have low costs for technological research and development meaning that more attention can be paid to the initial setup and scenario design. This is not the type of stuff that sells well in a screenshot or magazine preview. But it is the heart and soul of a good wargame."

I've recently gotten hooked on an online D&D spin off called Everwars. Check out the link in my signature if you're interested. Judging from the number of players involved, online role playing is alive and well.
