This ama is legendary.

If you had to pick something you learned for your future jobs, what would it be?

Thanks for answering!

Yeah the fuzziness was what lead the discussion.

We all kind of quickly dismissed Kickstarter in general for game making (it's better suited for almost everything else than game making), but they kept their thought that you lose the "indie stamp" with financing and that included kickstarter. The thought being that with financing you are obliged to deliver a certain product and not being able to suddenly change it to something else (which half agree with).

In the end we pretty much agreed that the class/stamp doesn't really matter though, it seems like it's more of a publisher/business thing to classify stuff rather than being important to the developer.

Me and my friends talked about this yesterday, at what part do you stop being an indie?

Imo it's fine getting a publishing deal or financing but as long as you got the final say in the creativity you can still be classed as an indie. But others disagreed with this and believed that you lost that title when you take in external backing.

What's your opinion on this (i'm just curious not trying to class your company lol)?

I've always wondered, and this is going to sound stupid, does agents like spy movies really exist? Not like, super soldier like Bourne but more like.. i guess Bond. Doing sneaky sneaky stuff and assassinating things.

Can you expand on the famous quote of you saying biggie called you the greatest? It's been debated, proven, disproven etc for years and i havent heard you talk about it too much in recent times.
