Quoteworthy: Notch Knocks "Indie" EA

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 Develop.

for those that think going to a bigger publisher is okay as long as it was developed independently.. That's just wrong.

The whole thing about Indie companies is to stop the bleeding from what publishers are doing to the industry. Thats why they choose this route.. No one makes a game then says, hi please sell this for us.. We funded it ourselfs and failed to sell it.. And guess what, then its no longer an Indie.. Its OBVKOUSLY no longer independent of a publisher lol.. <insert rude awakening wakeup bitch slap here> sorry not trying to be rude, but seriously.. if you can't see this obvious situation, something is wrong in your brain.
