>>738718239Uh bro, AAA is when UE5...
They're not indie they're reddit

FACT: Total conversion mods are better than any shitty indie games
Jakshit needs to be permabanned on sight.
>"game" (its not a game, its a animated movie turned into a "game" last second) gets funded and published by one of israels biggest private backers, has licensed music (costs a shitload of money) and gives out all the leftoid journos special packages as bribes for 10/10s>indie

>>738719128A supposedly Indie game distributed on Steam is published by Valve. If the game lacks any other distribution, then it would be fair to say that even the presence of a major "publisher" wouldn't save it from being solely published by a Valve.If all of the actual publishing is done by digital distributors, then applying the label of "publisher" to an extraneous non-productive entity is just putting lipstick on a pig.
The fact that this game is indie IS TRUE
>>738718067An indie game is a game made by one (1) person. Undertale is not indie because Toby had other people make a few of the assets. Stardew Valley used to be indie, but Concernedape now has another person help him with coding.Cave Story is indie.
>>738720984Is should only pertain to self publishing and without any vendor like Steam etc.Assets used don't decide self publishing.
I went through this whole mixtape thing with Rocket League back when it won best indie game. RL is fantastic but how in the hell can a game with a 3 million dollar budget be considered indie? It's bullshit
>>738718067Jakniggers need to be put indie ground
>>738718067>>>/s/harty
>>738721906Nintendo self publishes without a vendor.

>>738718182Never grew up eating McD's, but the menu seems really overpriced for the quality of food I've seldom experienced from there. What do you anons see in it over it's contemporaries?
>>738722560Nintendo also publishes or licenses games. Indies can't do that. Nintendo is a AA developer and hardware manufacturer , apples to oranges comparison.
>>738722750>Never grew up eating McD'shuh? what does this have to do with anything?
>>738723718Team Shanghai Alice has a guideline list for fan projects which acts as a license for the Touhou IP. Every Touhou fan game is technically licensed under those guidelines. Are you telling me the Touhou series aren't indie games?
>>738718067I look like this and say this all the time. Why does no one believe me?
I still don't understand what "indie" means, exactly. I always figured it was synonymous with "self published" but plenty of indie games have third party publishers.
>>738719128Undeniable during their early formative years but they were published by a distributor Sierra early on so they were closer to AA.The label means very little to any of their games past 2005 once they had the capital to do their own distribution. You could argue that any devteam financially large enough to afford devkits for contemporary consoles of the time AND retail shelfspace arent indie, this was also the same console generation that opened the door to "indie on console" thanks to platforms like XBLA and WiiWare.
