Actually, in music, indie's become a style of its own, characterized by (as far as I can tell) a mixture of some techno, guitar, and normal rock, in one beautiful package.

This is the kind of thing I'm referring to. That's how it's working with games now.

...by which I mean, the fact that the word "independent" has been twisted to refer to something like that is utter bullshit and the product of mass stupidity.

True. So-called "indie" music has now become mainstream, thereby becoming hypocritical, pointless, and slightly idiotic. So, eh.

The reason it's twisted so is because the things that appeal to a mainstream group of people usually get picked up out of the indie scene, thus creating a 'style' in itself to indie games, making it almost a genre.

It's not that way with games, it's become the same thing without becoming mainstream more or less. It's also still a pretty awesome genre thingy. Though look at peggle, casual games and such that used to be refered to as 'indie' are really taking off.

Best game ever: A 3d multiplayer universe with multiple galaxies and trillions of stars w/ loads of planets and real people playing on them- starting from a cavemen like tech to a space tech, while gradually developing a society and culture. Then being able to fight/colonize/plain old roleplay in any city or place on any planet in any system, while being able to capture and retain any cities/planets/empires by any means necessary. While also culturally expanding and developing regional/global/systemwide/galactic/intergalactic alliances and enemies.

Oh, I play a game just like that. It's called Life. :D
It may be a bit overwhelming sometimes, but you get used to it.
