Taking seriously this new mode of cultural produciton compells analysts to reconsider the blurred boundaries and relations of makers, users and texts as well as their respective relationship to cultural power and hierarchy. The contributions to \u003ci\u003eIndie Games in the Digital Age\u003c\/i\u003e consider these questions and examine a series of firms, makers, games and scenes, ranging from giants like Nintendo and Microsoft to grassroots games like Cards Against Humanity and \u003ci\u003eStardew Valley\u003c\/i\u003e, to chart more precisely the productive and instructive disruption that this new site of cultural production offers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M.
