    Is there such thing as a Best Selling Indie Game List that also shows how much exactly Indie's are making? Just curious... anyone have such a link to such a list? o_O

    Not enough data for such a list i guess. Or do you submit your dataset somewhere?

    Maybe you could ask the NSA :)

    Here is something
    Not exactly a best selling list of indie games, but a quite comprehensive list of indie game sales reports.

    You don't need a list to know minecraft is at #1. Anything after that - noone knows as devs don't publish their sales data.

    It does partly depend on what you mean by 'indie'. Technically, Candy Crush Saga is an independently-made game that was released by a privately-owned company.

    King are now IPO, so I guess that doesn't make CCS 'indie'? And I guess that means Minecraft isn't 'indie' anymore as its owned by Microsoft now? :confused:

    lol... well what I mean by indie games are those that at least started out indie... if they were made by a small independent team without the help of a major publisher then yes i'd like to know what games those are.
