Indie Developers and Creative Freedom

In that regard, do you feel that being an independent developer allows you to create and take more risks than you could under a bigger group? If so, how is that important when it comes to creating horror games, a niche in the industry? The most memorable titles have been those which work with their own boundaries, where storytellers were trying to create something completely unorthodox. I guess a lot of publishers and companies would rather play it safe so they would secure their income making their products a bit more by the book, and frankly a bit dull.
