Yes, indie is short for independent but the meaning of “indie” game isn’t as clear cut anymore (was it ever?). As you can see with Dave the Diver.

I watched it at movie festival a month or so ago and I very much enjoyed it.

I had not seen any of the other movies by the director so I didn’t have any expectations whatsoever.

Emma Stone did an amazing job.

That’s fair. Might actually be a good category.

Friends Per Second podcast had an interesting discussion around it. The term Indie isn’t well defined. Maybe never was. Most people probably see DtD as indie even though it had a publisher. A new category could be “independent” which actually has games that were published independently.

I think we might have different expectations here. I think if a company sells a broken game, they should fix it without praise. The consumers paid for it. Specially should they not get an award for that. There should be a category for “most stable release” instead.

Cyberpunk winning best ongoing game is such a joke. Yes, I enjoyed the DLC but if any game with DLC and updates can be part of that category then that category has no meaning at all.

Hell yeah, the first one came out around the time when indie games started to take off. Braid, Limbo, World of Goo, Super Meat Boy.

There is actually a bit of debate to stop this tradition (Norway giving a Christmas tree to the UK) because of environmental reasons. Some people are arguing that they could keep the tradition but instead Norway pays for a tree that was grown in the UK to avoid the long transport.

Seems to have massive performance issues that get worse the longer you play. Hope they manage to fix that. Was looking forward to playing it coop with a friend.

Well, for “free” I might give Callisto Protocol a chance. But with my long backlog even that might never happen. Oh well.

Weird West is supposed to be good I hear.

Is there some setting to be notified about available updates? More often than not I find out about updates via news instead iOS just telling me.

You mean the dark chocolate hobnob, then you are correct.
