   @grumpygamer Kid and I had a discussion about this the other day.

   Kid: "I guess XYZ are not Indie anymore because they have UVW as a publisher."
   Me: "They're still Indie, aren't they? Isn't UVW just a handful of people in a basement? They're not EA or Microsoft, right?"

   I don't know what the spectrum of actors is out there and where people draw the lines. I would love to hear the perspective from people actually involved in the computer game business.

     What does the term "indie studio" mean? It used to mean you don't take money from publishers, but that is no longer true. I guess it's new meaning is "constantly broke".
