> I find the distinction between AAA games and indie games irrelevant.

I view the difference as being like the difference between movies made by major studios and movies made by indie studios.

The AAA games are aimed at a broad demographic, and that determines what sort of gameplay they present. Indie games address smaller demographics and so are willing to be more experimental and creative.

I don't think one is better or worse than the other, but I do think that there is enough of a difference between the two that knowing what sort of studio made it gives you an idea of what to expect.
