        Yeah, III was basically coined to differentiate one-man / low budget indies from high budget indies like Hades, which was made by 20+ people, and a much higher budget, when compared to “normal” indies.

      Straight from the article :

      “Since using letters seems to be the trend in the industry, we figured that adding a couple of i’s to indie was a fair way to describe this new format. Also, triple-i just sounds cool”

      They’re a bit late on the trend though, according to Microsoft and Ubisoft it’s all about Quadruple A now.
