Fantastic titles made by people in their bedrooms.

I believe a number of them have publisher/port deals with big studios, so I wasn't sure if that would disqualify them in some eyes, but yes I consider all of them fully indie-developed games.

I see, yeah it's complex, but people still think of devolver games as indies since they basically only help with marketing and localization I think? This discussion happened with Bastion too but the devs said Warner only helped them to get on consoles and steam, it was self-funded.
