Why is dedicating a Gamescom conference to new IPs and indies a bad thing?

Indie games are generally awful.

That's an awfully small minded statement

Why, because you don't agree with it?

Or because I'm not being a trendy hipster by supporting the "little guy" regardless of whether they make quality or not?

No, because making a statement that generalizes a large area of data into a singular opinion is small mindedness, which is precisely what you did. Seeing as "indie games" covers several dozens genres, spanning several decades and varying budgets, I think regarding it all as "generally awful" falls quite nicely within the definition of being small minded :P

Something being an opinion does not stop it being small minded.
