Indie Game Exam Question 3 (FINAL) (Gaming)

In terms of media, "indie" doesn't mean total independence from all pre-existing support structures; it just means independence of support from a large publisher.

Why is this valued or praised?

The idea is that it has greater purity of creation. They're not worried about 'return on investment' as heads of (especially large) record companies would be. So they don't alter their sound or image to appeal to a wider audience in the hope that'll be more profitable.

Funnily enough, the way it's going these days, both very small/new and very successful recording artists are getting distribution-only deals.
