This thread has gotten quite long and I haven't read everything so I apologize if this is a repeat.  What bothers me the most is people stating they are a studio when it's quite obvious they are working from their parents' basement or in a single bedroom apartment.  Unless you've registered your business, are remitting taxes, and have dedicated office space - you are not a  studio.  The biggest dead giveaway that you are not a studio is the fact that you can't pay me.  Studios have access to funding and/or an income from their previous game(s).  Lastly, if you are not of legal age to enter into a contract (usually 18) don't even bother.  I will never work (even free work) if I'm not protected by a contract.  In short, don't lie about being a studio when you are just one person with an idea.
