You just contradicted yourself.

[Ben Grapevine]

Indie game means it was created by a small group of people that did not sell the game through a publisher.

I know that.
Indie can still count as a genre, seeing as how that genre can basically be games created by independent companies.

[.:FancyPants:.]

well since we're on the subject, what are the specific actions of a developer and a publisher that go into making a game? i've never really known.

Indie games are games that are produced independently of major publishers, not games that don't sell a lot of copies. Nor is "indie" a genre of games.

I don't really have a favourite genre and i'm defiantly not going to spend 8 years thinking of a list nobody will look at, I'll play whatever's interesting, But generally FPS games bore me pretty quickly.

[blazerblock2]

RPG:
Skyrim
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series games.

FPS:
Half Life series
Battlefiend series.Literally all the games I ever play. Lol.

[GEN.Fire Bird]

You even said this one yourself.

Its not through any major publisher, so thus is Indie.

[Chrono]

Its not through any major publisher, so thus is Indie.

I'm not saying it's not indie.

I'm saying indie's not a genre.

Besides, FPS isn't even a publisher so I don't even know how you didn't figure that part out.


If you guys wanna keep calling indie a genre, I'll start making these genres:
Free
Steam
Xbox
64 bit
and last but not least, FoV slider

All of these make just about as much sense as Indie as a genre.
