Like I said, it is a bit grey. I personally would probably not give it the indie tag given Microsoft did have considerable control over it. I would sah 99% of the time when it's a contracted game, it's not going to be indie usually. Honestly, the Witcher series is a more curious case. The developer operates independent of publishers up until distribution. So unless they have a large investment group or something over them, they are technically independent. And also, Indie is not necessarily different from AAA. You can be both. |
I agree that there could be AAA indies AA indies and smaller budget indies.
