After carefully investigating definition of "indie", it seems that Microsoft is an "indie" company as much as Blizzard.


Wait till Blizzard becomes one of this year's hottest startups!


Like other indie developers, Blizzard is cutting the middleman and selling the game directly to their fans. In this case Blizzard accomplished this by merging with games publisher Activision.


Why did Blizzard merge in the first place? They were making literal truckloads of cash. Did Activision have a warehouse to put all the money?


Blizzard was self-publishing before the merger.
