@grogpod Dave the diver was funded by Nexon. This means it's not an indie game. Why do people keep calling it an indie game 🤔

@BlindiRL good question, I had no idea it was a subsidiary spinout. Same criticism applies to Journey and Ori for TGA as well it seems.

Interesting neogaf thread in the topic: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/dave-the-diver-nominated-for-indie-game-of-the-year-yet-its-published-by-nexon.1663451/

@grogpod NeoGAF, now that is a name I've not heard in a long, long time.

Regardless it's no more an indie then grow home. The developer is a subsidiary of Nexon but it keeps getting referred to as an indie game and I find that baffling and concerning.
