Indie Game Exam Question 3 (FINAL) (Gaming)

Cody's definition of indie appears to be "games I don't like", unless he's just playing the troll.

I liked Crysis 2 and that was indie.

Wait… the Crysis 2 published by Electronic Arts with the storyline of incomprehensible technobable? How does that game qualify as indie or likeable???

Journey , the darling indie game of everybody, was published by Sony. What's your point?

There were two points:

1. Crysis 2 was not indie because it was a mass market game by well known developers that had EA as a major backer.

Sony poured millions (literally) into journey. If you go by money and / or team size, Journey isn't indie either.

Ask yourself why one would need to make a distinction between large and small budget games.

You're the one who brought up Journey and its status. I've never played the game, have never seen it played, and don't care about it. Since you're ignoring point 2 (and since it's a bit off topic anyway) let's stick to point one.

How do you justify Crysis 2 as indie?
