Yeah it’s wild and they pretty much got away with it too. Marketers hyped up Indies, using Ubisoft as a sacrificial lamb.

Try telling them Expedition 33 is a fake indie and they’re like “30-person team, champ. The State of AAA 😏.” Like what the fuck are they talking about. That’s the same team size as Metroid Prime 1, which also had a Publisher. Just like them. What the fuck. These Losers are just captivated by the narrative and want a Reprieve from the State of AAA.

This is a situation where even if E33 won GOTY and even if it were nominated in the indie category that the voters should’ve just voted for Silksong imho.

I’ll grant you all that but E33 had a far lower budget than any AAA game. I think words should mean things imo so I don’t like when people just arbitrarily ascribe “indie” to things that maybe are, maybe aren’t. According to you it should only be used if the dev team is “small” and they all have unkempt beards or something.

Today I played the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 mobile port and got the light blue Chaos Emerald in the secret special stage after ten or so tries.
