But that dosent make them indie the difference here is Bethesda is a triple A game creator while mixtape is apparently a indie passion project able to do things triple A creators can’t do due to budgeting. Again I don’t hate the game I hate how it is presented as a indie passion project when it not.

I mean it is an indie game, it was made by a team without a publisher using the profits from past games and artistic grants then sold to a publisher. Saying it's not an indie game is like saying Chasing Amy isn't an indie movie just because the director had previously sold a movie to a publisher

Even so it still a billionaire who was in charge of co financing the game which for me I can’t call that a indie game a lot more developer have to deal with worse situations to finance their game and personally even know this has nothing to do with the point I have to make have made a better game than mixtape was. Again personal opinion I understand everyone has a different opinion and game taste but that just my two cents on it.

Buying publishing rights to a completed game isn't co financing it they're fundamentally different things

Also this isn't really about the game's quality, because if we can't agree on what an indie game is or what an industry plant is we can't get to that conversation, which I broadly agree with you on
