People keep using that term, "indie", as if it's a genre of its own. It's not a genre, but a description of how a game is published. Nothing else. |
Yes and no. I agree that the term 'indie' is all too often used to dismiss what are often good games.
At the same time generally speaking indie also connotes low budget. This can in turn mean less content, lower production values, and a perceived lessor value.
There are exceptions of course. And plenty of big budget titles that turned out shit.
