Is Every Indie Game Independent? Towards the Concept of Independent Game<\/a><\/div>\n
by\u00a0<\/i>Maria B. Garda, Pawe\u0142 Grabarczyk<\/div>\n

The latter can be explained as a disjunction of three types of independence (financial, creative and publishing) and it is associated, in a given historical period, with different contingent properties determined by the game culture of the era.<\/div>\n
