Independent Games Publishers

[ItsThere]

Are there any particularly famous ones?

I'm thinking that the rise of digital distribution must have led to more people taking the decision to self publish a title but my knowledge is a little limited in this area.

Anyone an expert? Or a publisher of their own content?

What do you mean by independent? EA and Microsoft are independent; whereas Sega, Taito and Atlus are subsidiaries.

I suppose I mean non platform Holders and smaller houses.

Like Playdead, Hello Games and Dark Energy Digital.

They develop and publish stuff themselves rather than through the powerhouses like EA and Activision.

[hush]

like NIS ?

[Flabio]

NIS publish through Atlus and/or Square most of the time. Most of the 'indies' on Live are published by Microsoft.

There's really only Codemasters to be honest.

I don't think NIS have published anything through Atlus since Disgaea on PS2, have they?

[mekanor]

NIS publish their own stuff in the US. Square-Enix distribute for them in Australia. I don't know about anywhere else.
