There is no such thing as a true "indie" site in the modern corpratist world.
True "Indie" sites get sued out of existence. Look at the recent Apple
disclosure mess. Companies (right or wrong) take this kind of thing very

posting of prices and model descriptions months before release would cause
problems and nuked it on his own accord.
