When I read the title of the video, I was like what? What year is this? That ship has sailed a long time ago, friend...

But Frost's definition of indie is very much his own. It is not non-commercial, but it hinges on not caving to commercial pressures.

Funnily enough, three months after that video, corporate greed led Frost and others to abandon The Escapist and regroup under Second Wind.

Nice that there is some activity here, welcome guys! I'm also not apt in video game journalism, but from what I gather the people who made this video were fired from an important mag shortly after releasing this video, and from a short reading this might be connected to them being not compatible enough with the (assumed) needs of the market.
