What a surprise, Expedition 33 isn't as indie or double AA as I thought

I never called it indie. And "AA" is rather hard to judge considering how ridiculous the giant budgets of the big corpo games got.
TLDW: I'm assuming this is all about budget sources. Why does it matter? Did they or did they not make a game that pretty much shits on the corpo-slop? Is everyone that is raving about it (including me) lying?
The TLDW is about how many banking, gov and finance guys, particularly of the globalist and tencent alumni variety, quietly put their clout behind the game from it's inception, whilst playing the "independent art" game with their PR campaign.
The game didn't blow up because it was good, it blew up because it was always going to be made to blow up, it was just a happy coincidence that it also turned out way more decent than the other junk those same financiers have foisted on the market lately.
It's my subjective presumption of the game rather than being irritated by other people calling it indie. You might assume judging by my first comment, that I'm a bit annoyed at the game's success, that isn't quite it. If you watch the video to the end, it becomes obvious there are a lots of hidden supports and suspicious groups trying to bank on this game being successful. They are the reason I was motivated to make the thread in the first place.
