As I have been pointing out for years, and this clusterfuck shows yet again, if you rely on any platform, you are not indie.

Some people also say that indie also means small, otherwise the most indie studios out there would be the likes of Valve and (Microsoft-)Activision-Blizzard.

Independent, i.e. not working with a large publisher, like Microsoft, Sony, etc. That precludes those publishers themselves, of course!

Why would that preclude those publishers, if they also own studios ? (See also : Paradox.)

Also, Valve and Blizzard aren't (weren't ??) publishers.
