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

                “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.

                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.
