It is a hard question, of course, because this movement is the opposite of escapism. People are discovering that it is more satisfying to get into the street and eat with to strangers than to use facebook. But games are more than a distraction. Games are part of how we live. They can spread the word, warm the blood, and perhaps even spread skills that people need to keep this movement going.
It seems short sighted to say that indie-game designers, already used to making great games outside of and against the monopolistic game corporations, could do nothing.
