Alt text: Yeah yeah, there's always exceptions, I mean look no further than the game in the 2nd panel, not the most thrilling gameplay, is it?

    You still haven’t defined anything. So if a game is only made by one person, it’s indie? Games made by very small teams aren’t indie?

    Look, I get it, “indie” is actually a bit of a nebulous term, and is often co-opted by medium/large size studios who want to pretend to be “better” than the AAA games, but no reasonable person would call Celeste “not indie.”

      So if a game is only made by one person, it’s indie?

      The first two examples are clearly made by multiple people. They just haven’t registered a company. I good rule I found, not for games but just in general, is that if it’s a registered organization it’s probably not as good as you think it is otherwise.
