Technically they are an indie, since they are not beholden to a larger parent company like EA or Blizzard/Activision.

They are, but their first business concern is the NATO contract. The commercial product is backburner. It will never be secure and the bugs will never be fixed, fully. Seriously, BiS taking control of this project is the reason it is so broken still and the real reason we waited almost two years for this two-step backward version.

Think about it. You think BiS will fund DayZ:SA and release it to compete with their ARMA 3 release? I don't think so. No one wanted to play ARMA 3... no one! But people bought it cause they lied and made people believe DAYZ:SA was gonna be ARMA 3 engine. It is not.

GG, BiS, you money grubbing monkies!

By the definition of the term, yes, they are an indie developer because they are not owned by a larger publisher.

That was a statement from Rocket on the DayzMod.com forum back in the middle of Summer fo '12. He said it that they would have use 3.0 for security reasons. What a joke.

Frankly, I don't have a quote cause I'm not that loser that saves forum posts for occasions like this.

Believe it or not, it was said and there were many people that saw it.

The last time we tried to entertain you Rossums, you "inadvertantly" started a debate over clips and magazines that went on for 3 pages :P.

Are you saying Arma 3 and DayZ have the same premise as games? that they are so alike that they don't reach out to different audiences?

I wouln't call it a "job" but still, steam forums are so filled with trolltrash that I can somewhat understand admin's behaviour. Please stay on topic

What was said was that they would use parts of the Arma 3 engine for security reasons, they ARE using some parts of the Arma 3 engine as well as parts from Arma II and Take on Helicopters.

Some of you guys say that BI is indie because they are not supported by a bigger hand, or a publisher or whatever, this is true, and technicaly BI is indie, but they have years of experience on gaming developing, they have developed their own engine and are well known in hardcore pc gaming circles so whats my point? My point is that they can't just hide on early access with their games, they have to act properly, they have to give ETAs and deliver, BI is not just some friends working in a basement.. Early access is good for true indie devs that are ignored by the mainstream and have no money but thats not BI's case..
