What could this be?
If I had to guess, it sounds like a bunch of indie developers might be pooling resources into a collaborative studio or publisher or something.
Maybe like an indie game publishing coop sort of thing. Sort of like what Nebula does where the content creators also have ownership in the company.
On pure speculation, it seems like iii could be a parallel to AAA. Maybe some sort of indie cooperation initiative?
Could be cool as a new way to differentiate from AAA. One i for a solo dev, ii for a small team and iii for big indie devs
VVVVVV sequel?
A non profit digital game store with 1% commission for triple A or better yet, triple I indie games.
