There's differing opinions on what makes an game 'indie', but I think of it as any game that not developed in-house by one of the big AAA studios or otherwise contracted/funded by them for development. Note that I said development, not publishing. I would consider a game whose development was funded independently but published by a big studio to still be an indie game. Mark of the Ninja (developed by Klei Entertainment but published by Microsoft) is a good example of this. Thanks for the giveaway!!

Thank you Revolution21X! :)

I think I remember seeing a bit of this game in indie game the movie, so if it is indie enough for them I suppose it is indie enough to carry the general classification. Also I don't have a problem using origin, I use it every week already to play ME3 multiplayer.

I agree with you and Shad0WeN on what is an indie game, I usually don't say thanks, but you created a discussion that I find interesting.

Great giveaway, thanks!

Thanks for the giveaway. I do indeed hate Origin/EA but, if the game's free, it's more palatable.

Anyway, as for so-called "indie games", I object to the term completely.

In film, there's a need for the independent label due to the difference between big-budget Hollywood movies and less-financed, smaller-scale films or independent films -- which are usually superior to the former, by the way, since Hollywood movies aren't known for their substance.

Now, in the games industry, that divide just simply doesn't exist. Yes, there are multi-million dollar game companies (and game companies owned by multi-billion dollar conglomerates, too, especially where console games are concerned) but this is a relatively recent development. Some of the greatest games to have ever been created during the 1990s were created by companies that would not qualify as "indie" but nevertheless were small companies who, despite their great contributions to cult classics, went bankrupt. I'm talking about companies like Looking Glass Studios, which produced Thief: The Dark Project, or Black Isle Studios (a subsidiary of Interplay), which produced Planescape: Torment. Neither of these companies were indie but there's no way they can be compared to the Hollywood equivalent of major game companies, either.

Even major companies like THQ have seen such a turn-of-events where their near-bankruptcy status has led their games to be featured as part of the Humble Indie Bundle series -- despite none of the games featured qualifying as "indie games" by the definition typically used.

Anyway, in the end, it's just a label and, like most labels, just exists to simplify and pigeonhole things.

Thanks!
