games news has to walk a weird line between macro industry newsy stuff and "NEW FLUFFY DISCO MODE BRINGS BRAND NEW SHOES TO FORTNITE LOWDOWN HEIGHTS HORDE EVENT!!" which is obviously intended to tap into the gigantic audience for Big Games

I personally (me), aka The Consumer of News, would love a situation where this stuff is siloed off into game-specific sites but I'm completely sure that isn't viable, and I'm also not criticising sites for doing this - they have to write about popular things by default

also the depression induced by trying to get indie game news out and then seeing it buried in reports about some glowing iron pants you can get in Destiny no doubt contributes to this feeling, however the truth is more people want to read about pants than anyone's indie shit

Personally I think you overestimate the impact that mainstream news covering indie games actually has. I think more traffic comes from blogs, twitter, Reddit, YouTube, forums, Facebook etc and also steam itself.

that's for sure. Haven't visited a mainstream news/reviews site in ages...
