“I don’t think having a publisher or investor automatically makes a studio any less indie,”
“Indie” has become a marketing term.
This just mirrors what’s been happening with “Indie” music and films for decades already. I don’t think it’s even remotely new in the gaming space either. Indie is more of a genre or even just a vibe than anything else.

Did the CEO work on the game directly if yes then you are indie if not you are not. Also doesn’t count if you have a parent company. That is my option is a good test of indie.
A Yahtzee fan by any chance?

Curious if you guys would consider Remedy Indie? They are independent, self published, and dont have any owning interests…
Then yes.
There are dedicated indie publishers, this would not be possible when having a publisher renders a developer non-indie.
