Stranger's Wrath isn't anywhere near to being an indie game. It's a port of a AAA Xbox game.

This isn't directed just at you since you're not the only person I've seen say it, but where did this mindset come from that retail release = AAA game?

No there is no such mindset. That indie clay game (can't remember the title) is getting a retail release, but nobody is gonna call it AAA. Most Vita retail games probably aren't AAA games (Unit 13, the golf and fishing games, etc.). When I say AAA I mean certain quality, size, graphical fidelity and general scope that in most cases requires money, time and workforce from the developer. And those games are usually still released in retail, the main exception here would be Japanese games in the West. Look at the list of games that I gave instead of clinging to a boring and far-fetched "retail doesn't mean AAA" argument.
