What's political about your wall of text?
>indie game gets financially backed by publisher
>stops being indie
We've set a really low bar for "political reasons".

It’s a pointless buzzword to gain attention to a pointless award show
>>
>game nobody has heard of makes announcement to get attention
>>
>>729022164
It’s a bunch of excuses to take the award away because modretro is owned by a Trump supporter

Yes that's exactly what the word means
>>
>>729024195
no what that term mean is
>solo guy making a game
>small team and i mean small sub 10 people team working on game financing it with their own money

If publishers comes up and publish the game that was made that way, its still indie game.
Publisher in picture changes nothing
What went in game production matters.

Cave Story wouldn't be an indie game if your definition held true.
>>
>>729024195
this logic is fucking FLAWLESS
>Be Todd
>Handpick 50 devs you know they can mule trough AAA title alone let alone in team of 50 mules like themselves
>release ElderScrolls6 without publisher

ITS INDIE GAME GUIESE
HORSE IS $50

>>729024902
Correct, Cave Story isn't indie anymore.
>>
>>729025515
That’s not how it works
>>
>>729024195
Does it apply to digital copies as well?
