okWhich gives me freedom on how much I wanna engage with people and shockingly, people don't like engaging with purposely disingenuous people. Especially for a pedantic debate about what defined indie when the company itself calls themselves indie, goes to indie showcases, Kickstarters their games, etc.
And highly ironic considering your daps and posts agreeing with you are literally a circlejerk of Sony fanboys, including a known nut.
nikka, you're now owed my attention nor a full response.
also a note: I cannot determine who daps things I post. Trying to use that against me is... disingenuous. You don't owe anyone attention, great. But YOU were the one in the last thread dapping people and then calling for neutrality and saying all the arguing was dumb. But now dap-policing?
Moreover, nothing I've said at all falls into that category. I've maintained a fairly simplistic stance in all of this. The S is shyt hardware being sold to people and it's bad corporate dealings.
And you again fail to read the original post you continue replying to where I quite literally stated that most indie studios are independent. But sure, try and trot out your thesaurus and your old notebook of SAT prep words to attempt to counter something that simple reading comprehension could manage. I noted that people can call themselves independent while not being. And your only continued point is... 'they call themselves that'.
So?
Rachel Dolezal called herself black.
What does what something calls itself matter in the face of the realities of what it is? It doesn't. You're the one playing a side - my side is that the Series S is weaker hardware than laptops these days and it is holding the generation back and Microsoft knew it would happen and did it on purpose.

but... that is gonna be too many words for you again.
Lemme simplify:
tl;dr Any studio can call itself independent.
If you cannot support yourself without direct cash infusion from a company that is supporting your existence to profit off of you to the exclusion of anyone else doing so... that is, quite literally, the opposite of what that word means. That is called dependence.
We can discuss the finer details of all sorts of things; there's grey in most things in life.
There's just no grey in the definition of the word independent.
