You know, you reminded me about my dislike of the AAA moniker and I realized that indie is largely the same thing - a marketing term used to appeal to certain audiences. It doesn't really convey any of the most important information about a game - "is it good/compelling/interesting"?. Just marketing BS that can be safely ignored.DmC was published by Capcom, and Ninja Theory was funded by them and supported during development. What I meant was in a scenario where a single developer started a company, he would technically be starting an indie company, regardless of experience. Although I must admit on further thinking, certain companies do blur the line between indie and AAA, unofficially called AA studios, usually indie game publishers like Team17 or well-funded indie studios and I think I'd place Ninja Theory there.
Oh god, I forgot about people trying to make "triple-indie" a thing!Well, yes, and someone even tried to create "AAA indie" tag because of games like that.
