Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):John ‘Bucky’ Buckley from Palworld developer Pocketpair says a game shouldn’t stop being indie just because it gets help from an outside publisher. He says that games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Stardew Valley shouldn’t lose their indie status simply because external publishers helped promote them. “Creative control is king,” what really matters is whether devs have the freedom to make their own creative decisions.
