“Indie” or “independently developed” games are video games which are developed by a studio without the support of an external publisher.
The concept of purchasing media and having it delivered over the internet. No physical representation of this content is given, and although the content resides on the user's hard drive they are typically granted a license to the product, rather than ownership of it.
A digital distribution service built around indie works and their creators.
Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.

Games that were only available through digital distribution, then later released on physical media.
