If Trine 2 is not an indie then what is? Quote taken from Wikipedia: " According to Frozenbyte's sales and marketing manager Mikael Haveri, Nintendo's initial approach and close contact with their company helped support the process of releasing the game for Wii U, and subsequently made it Frozenbyte's first self-published title without the interference of Altus, the game's publisher for other platforms." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trine_2

Being self published makes it an indie game.

I guess games like Skyrim are indie games too using that logic...

Then what is an indie game?

Given that you use wikipedia,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indie_game

"Indie games are developed by individuals, small teams, or small independent companies. And, typically, indie games are smaller than mainstream titles. Indie game developers are generally not financially backed by publishers and usually have little to no budget available."

Oh ok, I thought indie games were primary self published and smaller than mainstream titles.
