Oh come on are you really going to play this game?
Do you think all “indie films” come from independent filmmakers/tiny studios with no big connections?
Do you think all “indie rock” only comes from independent bands without studio deals?
Indie absolutely connotes either the above or a style/genre. Everyone knows this. It’s a very flexible term that can vary from person to person. It’s a “vibe,” it’s classic “I know it when I see it.”
“Indie” is a very nebulous term regardless of the medium. “Indie rock” is a sound now. “Indie movie” is a style/genre now. “Indie game” is definitely a style.
Yeah, absolutely. Just for me, this feels like a typical AA game. Indie is more like Noita, Mouthwashing or Vampire Survivors. But you are right, there are no definitive borders or anything.
It Takes Two won 2 years ago.
That is no indie game.
so are you saying they don’t like the genre of indie games or that they don’t like independent studios?
“Indie game” is not a genre…

I don’t know about that. I am saying, that I wouldn’t count It Takes Two as an indie title.
