"@ndluss @sephirothfr29 @copperCity17 Yeah it used to mean stuff like Shovel Knight funded by normal people or by the people making the game. They also have to market the game themselves. E33 had all of this taken care of by an indie publisher backed by NetEase I love the game but its not indie at all"

"@CentralScruty Its disingenuous they keep pretending to be humble little indie devs when the founders dad is a venture capital mogul. E33 was fully funded by Kepler thanks to a $120mln investment from NetEase I love the game but the mythology around it spits in the face of real indie devs"

"Expedition XX changed the game for Indies. You guys are gonna have to find $10mil+ in funding from a Sony or NetEase backed ""indie"" publisher if you want to compete for @thegameawards goofball statues. Good luck Hopefully your dad is rich"

"@MoreLimitless Brother the game is funded by a publisher who is funded by NetEase A pretty rich AAA dev with a very rich dad started a business. The game is great but its a AA game meant to make money. Youll never guess why they wear the indie label like a mask"

"@ALegendaryDrops I mean the XXX million from NetEase to fund Kepler to fund Sandfall probably helped"

"@GenePark @Fake_Lawyer_ i feel like a pretty fair definition of Indie is not getting millions of dollars from a publisher But yeah if were gonna hand the award to indie publishers backed by the Ellisons Sony and NetEase then the category needs to die Right now its just a marketing term"
X Link 2025-12-12T13:58Z XXX followers, XXX engagements

"@BadTakeEnjoyer @GenePark @Fake_Lawyer_ Yes because the dev would assume all the financial risk and also the bank isnt giving a new dev a million in the first place certainly not the additional millions to go hire Charlie Cox and Andy Serkis NetEase invested $XXX mil so Kepler could invest in XX and other games"

"@Apollokid3000 @JazzLikesToGame Except the game wasnt independent. It was funded by a publisher who was funded by NetEase You know that indie darling NetEase that makes the same yearly revenue as Nintendo"

"@JhasPowers @vishgod69 They are definitely an independent studio XX is definitely not an indie game How do you think a company with no earnings was able to hire Andy Serkis and Charlie Cox Did they pay them in robux"

"@P0chu_L1ver @luscielia Its really hard. Look at the way yacht club games is struggling. Thats why I feel like the spotlight for indies should be protected"

"@P0chu_L1ver @luscielia E33 was funded by Kepler Interactive who is funded by NetEase. Its not independent they had their bills paid by the publisher. Games like Shovel Knight Hades X and Silksong were self published indies"

"@fnseixas_ @Pekooo__ @luscielia Im not arguing about it being cheap Im saying its not independent because it depends on NetEases dollars from Kepler to be made and marketed. But be my guest refer to it as indie and watch the whole space get dominated by Sony Tencent and NetEase"

"@Yaya5678a @ZhugeEX The credits and devs say the animations were done in Korea. I didnt think I needed to pull a source for the most basic information about the game Kepler Interactive paid for the Hollywood actors and funded the game since 2022 What part of this sounds indie"

"@YoItsGaius @SysolKing @JonathanB_____ @ShitpostRock Kepler funded them dude. Dont look up who funds Kepler I know we cant agree on the term indie but I feel like if you have financial ties to NetEase or Sony youre probably AA Which is fine and doesnt take away E33s accomplishments"

"The origin story is the annoying part. They left out the part about the founder being a nepo baby the quarter mil influencer marketing campaign and the millions of dollars from Kepler courtesy of NetEase It's a wonderful game but stop pretending to be small and indie"

"I'm really enjoying the game but the indie thing is a psy op you're gonna start seeing every year at @thegameawards I know the term indie is muddy but I think we can draw the line at financially connected to a AAA publisher"

"@hyxkkimxru Ah yes indie games I love the game but the thought that Mina the Hollower has to compete with the likes of NetEase Sony and the Ellisons to win an indie award is nuts"
X Link 2025-12-12T22:16Z XXX followers, XXX engagements

"*Founded by a strategy and investment executive from Tencent who raised XXX million dollars XXX million coming from AAA publisher NetEase. This is how they're able to fund a bunch of games at the same time while everything is riding on Silksong Mina the Hollower and Hades"

"@luscielia I would be so thrilled for this game if they also werent pretending to be an indie. Like its literally right there before they even got the NetEase-backed Kepler funding. Its AA not indie They should have withdrawn from the indie categories"

"@fnseixas_ @Pekooo__ @luscielia Shovel Knight Treasure Trove took $X million to complete and they did it without a publisher.

"@hyxkkimxru @hiilinen_lassi Kepler was founded by an executive from Tencent who raised XXX million in funding XXX from AAA developer NetEase They brand themselves as indie so that youll view them in a more favorable light They paid influencers $250k to play it and had a movie deal before it released"
