This comes down to the ultimate question. What is an Indie game?
1. Pixel art style games
2. Game made by small team or an individual
3. Games with small budget
4. Games made for hobby
5. Games made without a publisher

Can't be 1, 2, 3, 4, nor 5. The answer is Indie games don't exist. Perhaps, every game is an Indie game. More budget does not equal AAA. I think it's important to understand what budget is used for anyways. I think people are using the word budget as if it's some magical word. Spending more money does not equal a better product. I kinda feel bad for these companies that gets the hate, but whenever it's a fan-made or indie game so many people praise it for the littlest thing. In fact you can easily make games nowadays without spending too much. I know indie games exist as a genre, but is it time to remove it? Imo I think this ranking is disrespectful to both "indie developers" and "AAA developers". What do you guys think.
