We're never going back to a paradigm of having like four different magazines you can read and that being the main way you find out about games, simply because there are so many better ways to get a game out there than that and far, far too many "hidden gems" for a small number of media outlets to cover all of them.

That was just an example. We're in a time with AI, limitless information, and people constantly being connected with their smartphones. There's really no reason for indies to have a larger reach than they currently do, it's more a matter of people being lazy and opting for convenience.
Like, yeah, 90+ percent of people will only find out about games from facebook, twitch, etc. but there's no reason to just accept that those have a monopoly and give up.
But, then again, the only person I've seen make an effort like what I'm imagining is videogamedunkey with his big mode games, and I don't think anything has released through that yet.
And also I can't really have room to talk about people being lazy because I'm saying all of this and making no real effort on my part to do what I think devs, indie publishers, etc. should be doing. Like, I make games and I've never ever once made a youtube video or even actually released anything lmao, so I suppose all that I'm saying ultimately boils down to wishful thinking.
