There were plenty of bad and buggy games in the 80's, it even crashed the market [1]. We just don't remember them.

Also modern non-indie games are orders of magnitude larger and intricate than 80's games, and have about the same distrubution of quality/bugs. They're now made by teams of size 10-1000 rather than 1-10 though.
