I considered that but there have been IP holders in the past that would license it out to third parties. If a small studio licensed a big IP for a small game and then self-published, would that be indie or AAA?
Not only are they not getting support from the publisher, they're paying for the right.

That would probably fall under "licensed" rather than "AAA".
