'Indie' or independant games are not your usual AAA blockbuster game. Rather they are usually small scale games produced by either an individual or small team. As they are only produed by small groups they recieve no financial support from a publisher so everything is coming from the developers back pocket. The greatest upside for Indie games is their level of creativity Such as 'Minecraft' which has revolutionised the games community and has become superstar in itself with a fanbase just as large if not arger than any AAA blockbuster game.
Indie games have been growing in interest since their spike in popularity in the late 2000's
The expansion of the internet has allowed Indie games to be purchased on platforms such as Steam, Xbox live arcade and onLive.
