It was fun reading some posts in indiegamer about “AAA art studios offering big discount for indies”. That thing didn’t sound right to me. Of course they couldn’t provide any price indication for it, not even a rough approximate for the example they posted.
They even seemed annoyed when me and other forum members pointed this out, like if they didn’t want to put a fixed price in public.
I don’t understand at all this attitude, since I’m not even bothering to ask them if they can’t post any info about it.
Also, when one replied with a figure, it said “in the thousands”. Too fun, in the thoussands what exactly mean? $3000 or $8000 ? I don’t know if they understand that even $1000 is a big figure for an indie devs. They think everyone is successful as Popcap, Funpause and so on. The truth is that for most indies even a “small figure” like $1000 for art is already the limit.
