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.
|
And both things are true, but I think the most important factors are the budget and the size of the developer team.

The clue is in the name. An indie or independent game is one published/released independent of a software publisher. It could have 1 developer or 100, a budget of a few hundred or a few million quid. Any game developed and released by a developer without any ties to a publisher is an indie game. Staff and budget have nothing to do with the price of chips.
