Comment on Any good indie games on steam? Can be any genre.

It’s never been a major studio. They make a very specific kind of game they publish themselves or through a small publisher. So they’re by definition indie. In fact many people call larian AAA indie.

Personally, I always called such studios AA. They are too large to be indies, yet to small to be AAA.
Expedition 33 creators, for example, would also fall under AA, even though they’re a very young studio.

Well. Luckily there’s already an established definition of the word indie.

Which is?
I’m asking for 2 reasons: 1st is that I simply don’t know which one you’re talking about as I’ve seen different interpretations of that word. 2nd is that I don’t think people would be arguing as much if the definition was that clear-cut.
