Ghost Ship did not self-publish DRG, they published with Coffee Stain. The publishing deal started in 2017, with Embrace/THQ buying Coffee Stain a year later in 2018. And even later buying Ghost Ship, as well.

I think the Deep Rock developers are owned by Embracer now, so I’m not sure if that counts as “indie” anymore, even if they’re still a small (and previously somewhat home-grown) studio. But it’s still a damn good game - ROCK AND STONE

They are, Ghost Ship Games.
DRG was never an indie, it was published by Coffee Stain Publishing, which is a subsidiary of Coffee Stain, which in turn is a subsidiary of Embracer.
Ghost Ship got fully acquired by Embracer in 2021.
