I dont think they're all like that but I can name one indie A-hole who is; indie developer of Fez - Phil Fish. Pretentious in every sense of the word amongst a few others..It was during a Q&A after documentary Indie Games: The Movie as Xanatos had mentioned, a Japanese game designer in the audience asked Fish what he thought of modern Japanese games. Fish gave his honest opinion — rather bluntly. “Your games just suck,” Fish infamously said. After Fish’s answer, people in the screening room snickered, laughed or let out exclamations of surprise or shock. That entire room was full of pretentious hipsterfags. I would link the video but they pulled it down. Its one thing to read the transcript of the QnA but when u watch it it was much worse. Japanese games suck..yeah ok I dont even know where to start with that statement..

But there are some great gems that come out of the indie scene as a whole such as resogun(now available on PS4), Journey, Amnesia and the others that have already been mentioned.
