Gaming - What is an "indie"? - View Post

I don't know. It's a good question. There's a certain connotation attached to the word indie, but since it's just a diminutive of "independent" technically a developer like Insomniac is just as much an indie as some bedroom coder making iOS games.


But that's the problem. We've stopped calling developers "developers" just to call them "indie developers" because, apparently, that makes them better.

 

There's a good misconception about the term, and no one is clear enough on it. We just shout "INDIE" whenever we feel like.
