Much needed, considering the State of Gaming. Not sure if you've been keeping up with it.

How the fuck is expedition 33 indie. It was made by more people than Metroid Prime 1. They outsourced a lot of the development too so it’s actually much more than that. And didn’t the soundtrack require an Orchestra?

Indie should just mean really small team OR, maybe the first game of a ragtag group of like 25 Nerds with NO PUBLISHER if they worked for free for years.

They fooled Asmongold too, he’s like “expedition 33 makes AAA look like a Joke 😏 “

this has been argued Ad Nauseum but afaik the technical definition of "indie" means only that it is self-published, but then that Begs the Question because E33 is published by Kepler Interactive:

Kepler Interactive Limited is a video game publisher headquartered in London, with an additional office in Singapore.[2] It was formed in 2021 out of a partnership between seven indie game developers at the initiative of Alexis Garavayan, incumbent CEO of the company. These seven founding studios are New Zealand-based A44, Canada-based Alpha Channel, France-based Awaceb and Sloclap, Serbia-based Ebb Software, Japan-based Swedish developer Shapefarm and US-based Timberline Studio.

And that publisher published a few other “indie” games

It’s literally no different from Acclaim publishing a game by Iguana Entertainment like Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. It’s the exact same thing.

My definition works imo. I mean I don’t want to disqualify some group of 2 Nerds just bc they have a publisher. It should just mean a Small Game. Maybe something a little bigger if it’s made by passionate Nerds with no money.

You don’t hear much about that anymore. AAA devs want an adversary they can control, not a 6’7 Nerd who makes them look like idiots

Also, indies MUST be western. If 5 Japanese Nerds make a game by themselves, it’s called a Gacha game, not an Indie.
