You're not serious, aren't you?

Did you mean "You're not serious, are you?" ?
Anyways...im quite series. You do realise that "indie" simply refers to games that are developed and released by independant developers?
In fact that makes some of the games Sony announced today not indie at all. Now if people didnt like some of the games because of the game itself then thats fine. But it seems like people are just annoyed because the games didnt seem like big budget AAA titles.
There are so many "indie" games that are really popular and people don't even know they are "indie".

I know what indie means. But independant developers that make themselves a funded studio are not indie. In fact, every single studio, except for those who are funded from the beginning, are indie. Naught Dog was indie back in its days. So was Quantic Dreams. Bullfrog. And so on.
There's a misconception. People are videogame developers. The term "indie" is loosely used.

Ive edited my post just to add to my point, if you want to read.
But about the term indie....yes it is loosely used but that doesnt take away the fact that it has a very precise meaning. It also applies to a lot of developer teams around the world this very minute. So while people on the net might be using it loosely that doesnt mean its the correct way to use the term.Quite frankly i dont think a lot of people know any better. Some people genuinely believe that every game shown today by Sony was "Indie" that's factually wrong.
