EA challenges the definition of indie with their latest gaming bundle

What makes a game indie? Notch chimes in.

Yeah, indie is kind of short for independent. It's the definition. It refers to independently produced media, and always has.

Well, except in music, where the term has changed from that ^^ definition to one meaning crappy manufactured music.

"Independent video game development is the process of creating video games without the financial support of a video game publisher."

EA = disqualified

Looking at steam now. It says for the bundle, $69.94 - 70% = $20.98

Click on the bundle and at the end it says:


Price of individual games: $34.94 USD
Bundle cost: $20.98 USD

Here's what you save by buying this bundle: $13.96 USD

Am I being thick, how does that add up?

[MetalSoup]

If the games weren't on special they would have been $69.94. Since they are all on special individually they are $34.94 all together. They use the second price when calculating how much you save on the bundle.
