Don't get me wrong, I like Expedition 33 and agree they deserve most of their awards, but it feels like awarding best indie game to multi-million budget games is meant to water down what the term means so EA, Activision and other big publishers can start releasing their "indies"

The inflation hit so hard that the indie game of the year 2025 had to have multi-million budget, just below $10 000 000. Above that you can aspire for single A tier production.

Do NOT engage. Do not quote dunk, do not screencap. Do not @ with your witty zingers. Give them not one breath of oxygen here.

Block, ignore, move on.

Wtf, Youtube flagged an unlisted video on my old gameart channel as hatespeech
It was just a Substance Designer generator for a temple floor

Appealed the decision but they rejected it

See, now, I just decided OpenAI owes me $10 million if they don’t opt out by midnight tonight. Is this how you do a capitalism? I’ve disrupted an industry here. Look at me innovating!
