That's basically how almost everyone sees them...

Just poor choice of words by EA, yet it's not like the bundle really hurts anyone. A company makes money (as it is suppose to), and the customers get a deal.

Because every company is a cash whore company? Thats what they need to do 
EA is one of the best rated publisher (critically) at the moment, so FU Notch, and you shitty ass excuse for games. Dont get me wrong there are some fine ideas behind the indie scene ( Dear Esther anyone?) but the only reason Im still gaming are new, massive IPs like Dead Space, Uncharted, Assassins Creed, and not for ho-hum games like Scrools

Anyway as the term indie by deffinition the term is a game not funded by a publisher, so no a publisher like MS or EA can't make an indie game, if they could every game would be indie. The who point of the label is to make the destinction, that the game is not funded by a publisher, I don't see why you can't grasp that other than to try and make a point. So using Mojang for example Minecraft was an indie game, Notch made it on his own time with his own money, meaning he made it "indipendently from a publisher. But Mojang doesn't make indie games anymore because they are now a publisher themselves since they decided to publish Cobolt. The term indie is largely arbitary but only pointless if companies like EA can call their own games indie, which is just an oxymoron. |
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you just missed the point of my analogy. The distinction is pointless. They make games to sell for profit.

Think of it this way indie is the equivelent to "made in *your country here*" vs "made in china" yes both items are made in much the same way yes they are both made to be sold in your country etc. Is that distinction pointless?

One pretentious asshole at a time 
indie devs need to stop making knockoffs of 8-bit and flash games before they assume the role of absolute moral authority of the videogame industry.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
When Notch makes something original, I'll listen to him.
