Last night, Sony held an indie showcase event at Neumo's, a Seattle music venue that epitomized underground cool. PlayStation exec Adam Boyes took the stage to re-affirm the company's commitment to working with indies and third-party partners and announced a handful of new games. Whiles most of the games looked intriguing, it was Boyes' t-shirt that might have been the sassiest thing in the spotlight last night.


In case you can't make it out, the words on the shirt say "Token Indie Logo." Boyes wore it under a blazer, mimicking the look that Microsoft's Phil Spencer sported during the Xbox E3 presentation this year. When asked about it, Boyes answered "I don't know what you're talking about" with a smirk.


"Look, we're having a lot of fun right now," he added. "We love indies. This isn't a new thing for us. All you have to do is look at the games we've supported in the past and what we're continuing to do now to see that."

The gorgeous janitor combat game DustForce

SpryFox—makers of Triple Town—are bringing the beautiful cartoony Road Not Taken, their next game about rescuing lost children, to PS4 and Vita.
