The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

Journalists are not responsible for finding and reporting on every indie game out there. But making an effort to dive into Steam/itch.io/game dev posts on Bluesky and report on cool stuff that could benefit from the extra traction and spotlight every now and again can make a huge difference.

Every week I cover indie games on my channel, and have started doing first time developer coverage. Sadly, it's a negative feedback loop on YT -- you don't cover big games, YT doesn't recommend you because they're too small, then those games don't get coverage and no one ever hears about them.

It’s why I’m like, the biggest advocate for one of my favorite indie games. It’s so brilliant, but it never got that discovery moment, so it only got SO popular.

I'm far from a journalist, but it's always a lot more fun to cover games not a lot of people know about Makes me feel like a little gremlin that wants to show off the shiny thing I just found

As an indie developer, I have to say it's extremely difficult for us to get media visibility. I've personally send thousands of emails, and only one or two ever respond. I understand it is difficult due to the massive amount of indie games but a middle ground is needed.
