If by "screwed up" he meant low quality, I'd say absolutely not. There are plenty of games made by major developers that sucked giant donkey balls, and there are plenty of games made by indie developers that were absolutely fantastic. The environment may influence production values, but it doesn't decide quality outright.
On the other hand, if he was saying "amg mindfuck" then I'd definitely agree. Not being part of a major developer means they aren't constrained by industry standards such as the normal life cycle and the need to get a certain ESRB rating in order to hit their target audience. Indie games are allowed to experiment and try new things that may or may not work. They're allowed to look at subjects that would generally be considered taboo in the industry. They're allowed to make the player shit their pants, throw up, or blow their load. Basically, indie games don't give a fuck.
