              so are you saying they don’t like the genre of indie games or that they don’t like independent studios?

                  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.”

                    Having connections is not the same as having a major publisher. Something isn’t indie because it’s a genre or just a small group of people.

                    It’s people like you who try to muddy that.

                  “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.
