  so are you saying they don’t like the genre of indie games or that they don’t like independent studios?

    “Indie game” is not a genre…

      Oh come on are you really going to play this game?

      Do you think all “indie films” come from independent filmmakers/tiny studios with no big connections?

      Do you think all “indie rock” only comes from independent bands without studio deals?

        Having connections is not the same as having a major publisher. Something isn’t indie because it’s a genre or just a small group of people.

        It’s people like you who try to muddy that.

    I don’t know about that. I am saying, that I wouldn’t count It Takes Two as an indie title.

      “Indie” is a very nebulous term regardless of the medium. “Indie rock” is a sound now. “Indie movie” is a style/genre now. “Indie game” is definitely a style.

        Yeah, absolutely. Just for me, this feels like a typical AA game. Indie is more like Noita, Mouthwashing or Vampire Survivors. But you are right, there are no definitive borders or anything.
