  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.

    And before y’all start downvoting an indie game has nothing to do with budget. As long as it’s not made by a major publisher it is considered indie. Just like Mixtape and Expedition 33 are both indie games right along with schedule 1 and balatro.

    I already defined it in my first post.

    But here it is again: an indie game is any game made by a none-major publisher.

    Examples of major publishers: Activision/Blizzard, Ubisoft, Sony.

    Examples of non-major publishers: Larian Studios, Annapurna Interactive, Playstack.

    An indie game has nothing to do with budget or how many people developed the game. It is exclusively referring to the publisher.
