Like this extreme example:

An example that is not indie, please? :P

Indies are frequently made by such douches that the games reflect that all that well...

Eternal Sonata. I mean Chopin wtf? Great game though.

Oh, I only played the PS3 demo. Was a normal JRPG to me. Did they make it so much about Chopin's music that it became douchey?

Classical music is actually not all that high society I think. You learn to apperciate it, or at least some of it. Tell me that doesn't have good moments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbxgYlcNxE8 (forgot how to embed)

I LOVE classical music.

But this isn't about classical music snobbery. It's about developers trying to appease critics' vanity by basically Oscar-baiting with their games. Making games for critics (and some gamers) to feel 'mature' about, not making games in a real sense, a piece of entertainment. Just like a lot of movies.
