Markus Persson's Twitter has strong reactions from Mojang's Markus 'Notch' Persson to the oddity of the
EA Indie Bundle on Steam, as it would be a stretch to refer to anything related to the giant Electronic Arts as "indie" (in the same stretch of tweets he objects to even calling Mojang an "indie"). Beginning
by saying: "EA releases an 'indie bundle'? That's not how that works, EA. Stop attempting to ruin everything, you bunch of cynical bastards," he
follows with "Indies are saving gaming. EA is methodically destroying it." He
caps this off with a clarification of what he's faulting here: "I got into trouble on the interwebs again! The games in the bundle are good, I'm not questioning them. I'm questioning EA." Thanks

No it's not. And the word you were looking for is "semantics". http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/semantic
1. of, pertaining to, or arising from the different meanings of words or other symbols: semantic change; semantic confusion.
So yes, "semantic argument" is an entirely correct way to phrase it.
SimplyMonk never said whether they might have other publishers. He said Steam is not a publisher. Yes, that was said in response to my post. But what you missed in your rush to display your ignorance, is that I never claimed that Steam was a publisher. I said that if we preclude games with publishers from being indie games, all the games on Steam have to be precluded. Which I then clarified as being because all of the games on Steam are listed as having publishers. If I never claimed Steam was a publisher, then pointing out that Steam isn't a publisher does nothing to refute my point.
