Indie hasn't meant independent for a long time. Now it just means low budget.

If it's published it isn't independent then is it you fucking retards

Take Two Interactive have experience with with Indies. Though it's in turning Irrational Games into Ghost Story Games with Bioshock Infinite.

Leaked first release from T2's the new indie publishing house. It's free to play now while it's in early access, but as it gets closer to release you'll be able to use real money to progress even faster.

This is truly a new Renaissance of video games we live in.

What's next, EA's new "indie label" Premium Reserve?

>Retards who think indie means making and publishing a game entirely by yourself.

>Instead of the actual meaning which is just that the studio is independently owned and operated

>>13984794

I don't see that was a useful distinction. Free Radical Design was killed by EA and Activision and they didn't even own them. Publisher independence is what actually matters. If they're publishing your game they can fuck with you in a billion ways without actually owning your studio.

Did Eurogamer take a side against gamergate? I forget.

why would you need a publisher if steam exists?

>>13984794

Indie in the context of games, movies and music has always meant that it was not published or produced by a separate entity. What the flying fuck are you smoking? id Software was an indie studio until they were bought up by Bethesda.

Independent in this context is a fucking oxymoron.

That's another thing, Steam Greenlight and indie shit is another oxymoron.


72f005 No.13984914

>>13984883

I agree with you, but the first guy I replied to seems to be confused.

Steam greenlight was voting

>>13984819

That's the fault of Free Radical and the way they ran their studio and not a problem of the definition of the word. If they have to depend on a publisher despite being independent then clearly they fucked up somewhere along the line.


3a2146 No.13984961

>>13984921

The Steam store itself is a publisher, they even take a cut of the money.


25e72b No.13984974

>>13984907

Yeah, they should call it the Steam Redflag instead.

Best thing in the long run. Keeps the Timesplitters franchise from getting raped to death by current year business practices and writers.
