Small independent developers are shaking the video game industry thanks to their creativity, and increasingly challenging big budget AAA productions.
In the video game industry, AAA is a classification term used for games with the highest development budgets and levels of promotion. Super Mario, Halo, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, and FIFA are examples of very successful AAA games franchises. However, independent developers are gradually taking over a larger share of the video game industry. Games such as Minecraft, Angry Birds, Limbo, Fruit Ninja, and Guacamelee! have made a great impact. Creativity, lower budget requirements and organizational flexibility is allowing indie developers to become a serious threat to some of the big studios and publishers. Some of these games are short in length, but very rewarding experiences.
Indies or AAA?
Many questions remain unanswered. Could this surge of indie developers harm the overall quality of the products in the video game industry? Are indie games a stimulus for innovation and competition? Or are they causing excessive fragmentation and instability?

My company suffered a cyber attack late last year that saw us lose access to our cyberspace and our entire digital assets were compromised, we couldn’t access our funds for a while until the seamless intervention of Morphohack Cyber Service who was able to help us trace and recovery every digital asset we had lost, it was just remarkable as the approach of Morphohack Cyber Services with their sophisticated technology and malware was able to help us solve a problem we never imagined we could have and never thought we could recover from. Their swift response saved my company and our reputation, we all could have been in debt and probably bankrupt if not for their intervention. Their fees are commendable and fair considering the work they did. I highly recommend them --- Morphohack@CyberServices.com ------ WhatsApp +1 213 672 4092
