What do you think ?

What is the difference between Respawn, indie dev making a game under the ea protection, and an indie game financed by Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft and only sold as a digital game ?

Why most people think indie/digital necessary means less ambitious ? There is plenty of retail games less ambitious, with less content than indie/digital games.

Because most indie games are less ambitious than retail games. Look at Steam, and all the indie games we don't talk about.
