Today on The 8-Bit Closed Fist Podcast, Ronell and LJ discuss what kind of game is winning in the industry, is it the Triple-A or the Indie games? Indie games, short for independent games, are games created without support of a large game publisher. A famous example of this is the hit game during this COVID-19, the Among Us, created by literally only like five people! Unlike Triple-A games, developed by a major publisher, that requires massive marketing budgets and development.  In this episode, they also talk about movies that you should definitely check out!
