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.”
You’re absolutely right. Indie is a murky term that people use very liberally. I’m glad we agree that being pedantic and rigid about a definition when the rest of society isn’t out of some weird need to be a contrarian online “well AKSHOOALEE”-ing folks is not only unproductive, but it kind of makes you a tool.
Have a great rest of your week. Feel free to have the last word. I’m sure it’s very important to you.
You’re robbing the right to exist as indie games from actual indie games, allow corporations to make games like Dave the Diver take the spotlight away from real independent developers, simply because corporations are becoming wise to masquerading as an indie game.
I just wanted to come back and apologize. I’ve been in a pretty shitty mood the last few days and I’ve been letting a lot of stuff get to me.I shouldn’t go online and take it out on other people and just spread that misery.
It doesn’t matter whether or not I think the word is flexible. I shouldn’t talk to people like that, I don’t know a thing about you and I just started attacking you. Again I apologize
That a good thing you realize you are spreading unnecessary toxicity.
We all got shitty days, we all make mistakes, what important is to admit them and learn from them.
Not even the community moderation is immune to that, I got some example in my own moderation history :D
“Indie game” is not a genre…

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.
It’s already muddy dude I can’t believe we are having this debate in 2024 lmfao
It’s not a debate.

Have a terrible week. You’re a bad person.
I’m pretty sure the last part is not necessary. Fighting toxicity with more toxicity will only do harm to the community.
